Settings logs - if set to true then NetBalancer will log its errors to system events log settings latency - set traffic induced latency in milliseconds, with default value 0 ms. After you changed the settings start back the service and NetBalancer will load them (it loads them only at start, and then keeps them in memory.) The recommended way of changing these settings is via NBCMD.exe, however, if you want to modify them manually, you should first stop NetBalancer's service, named "NetBalancerService", otherwise it will replace your own settings on shutdown. Then there are also some files named C:\ProgramData\SeriousBit\NetBalancer\Traffic*.zip that contain various traffic stats.

Priorities are storred in C:\ProgramData\SeriousBit\NetBalancer\Priorities*.xml, where * is the ID of the network adapter, a number that can be negative.

The rules are storred in C:\ProgramData\SeriousBit\NetBalancer\Rules.xml.

The HKEY_USERS\Default\Software\SeriousBit\NetBalancer key contains the settings of NetBalancer's Windows service, except priorities, rules and traffic statistics, which are stored in XML files.

In registry, at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SeriousBit\NetBalancer are kept the settings of the GUI and Tray apps.

NetBalancer keeps its settings in a couple of locations, depending on settings type: NetBalancerSetup.exe /sp- /verysilent /norestart /components="agent" /pwd=mypony123

The example below installs NetBalancer's agent only, silently, with no icons and with UI password "mypony123"

ui is App's main window, and tray is the tray icon and taskbar toolbar.Īnd because NetBalancer's setup file is built with Inno Setup, all Inno Setup's command line arguments are also supported. Supported components are agent, ui and tray, comma separated.Īgent is the Windows service of NetBalancer App, it is mandatory, the App won't work without the agent.

We recommend to change NetBalancer's settings with NBCMD.exe after setup, but the setup also supports a few command line args: /pwd= - sets the UI password /priorities_file= - sets the global priorities file /priorities_file_interval= - sets the global interval at which the priorities file will be re-read /rules_file= - sets the global rules file /rules_file_interval= - sets the global interval at which the rules file will be re-read /serial= - activates NetBalancer during setup /user_name= - sets the desired registration user name, that will be shown in About window /components="agent,tray,ui" - select which components must be installed.

For example if we set a download limit of 20KB/s to Firefox and activate the 'Apply limits.' option then every single connection of the dozens Firefox makes will be limited to 20KB/s, but in total Firefox will be able to donwload at a much higher rate. When 'Apply limits for each connection separately' is activated then the limits are applied per connection.The Custom priority is a useful feature for developers to simulate unstable and limited networks, similar to low quality wireless and satellite signals.Ignored processes work without any management from NetBalancer.Usually this increases latency, and by a lesser factor decreases download/upload rates.

When a process has a Delayed priority then all its network packets are delayed with the set delay, in milliseconds.

Blocked is the same as Drooped with 100% Drop Rate, but works faster and requires less CPU.

For example if the drop rate is 40% then out of 100 network packets of a process about 40 of them will not reach their destination.

Dropped priorities, with a set Drop Rate, means that a part of their traffic will be dropped.

A Limited process will be just limited when it reaches the maximum allowed bandwidth, otherwise it will work as usual.

Limited, Ignored, Dropped and Delayed processes are excluded when calculating bandwidth of High, Normal or Low priority processes.

When there are no other processes with a higher priority using the network then processes with Low priorities will get all the bandwidth available.

Processes with a High priority will get more bandwidth than those with Normal or Low.
