I have used net limiter many a time, let me tell one best use of Netlimiter.if you have lan based Internet connection and DC++ network on that Lan then you can put netlimiter to prevent users from utilizing your whole bandwidth.else More users connected to your Comp thru DC++ more it will hang.
But Torrent Client now detects Net limiter like tool so wont be useful for those users.
