Transmission is one of the best BitTorrent clients out there; one of the reasons it is great is because it’s very fast! However, sometimes it gets too fast and hogs all your bandwidth which will make you lag when playing games online and will also make streaming video near-impossible. Fortunately, there’s a built in bandwidth limiter that can be activated at the touch of a button.
See the little turtle that I’ve circled in the above picture? Clicking that button activates the bandwidth limiter. To adjust the settings for the limiter, go to preferences -> bandwidth and fill in your desired bandwidth limit
As I mentioned before, this feature really comes in handy when using another application which requires lots of bandwidth or when playing XBox Live/Playstation network, etc while downloading stuff.
