Hey all,
So Ive just seen Dawn of War 2 Chaos rising for half price on steam at the moment which I am pretty keen on.
The only thing is that I only get 5GB a month of bandwidth (but I do get free off peak between 4am and 8am) and as far as I know, steam doesnt have a built in scheduler.

So does anyone know of bandwidth limiting software that would allow me to download games off steam and other applications only between specified times? Links Please?

Oh and I do have NetLimiter 3 Pro but im not sure if you can set it up to allow applications bandwidth usage only between certain times. If anyone knows how to do this on NetLimiter can you please give me a step by step walkthrough? :)

I'm not aware of any way myself, but I'd suggest asking at ON3 or GPforum, as they are much more heavily frequented by gamers.
