Need some help on optimising Internet Sharing.
Our hostel gets internet thru optical fibres laid between the Central Networking server and the gateway(in our hostel)
Due to excessive use of torrents ,Each user(of 100 so) has been restricted maximum 15 connections thru some software running on Windows XP SP3 Internet gateway(hostel server)
But this has a flipside..the maximum connections are independent of network usage.so in effect many connections sit idle..when few users are using the net.
Now My basic call is.
IS there any 'FREEWARE' software available on Windows Vista or XP which enables efficient usage of network(giving each user minimum 15 connections whenver he connections,and max would be depending on the no. of users accessing) for the Gateway.
P.S.-all conections are routed thru gateway as the proxy server
