I started GTA 5, now the task "GTAVLauncher.exe" tries to download 1 GB update from the internet, but it takes the whole bandwith.

Is there a way to limit the download speed of this task? I already tried NetLimiter, this worked fine, but unfortunattely it was only a test version and i can't efford it.

So is there a free method to limit the download speed of a task?

    NetBalancer should do the trick. the free version can monitor up to 3 tasks at once. check http://superuser.com/questions/135719/how-can-i-limit-bandwidth-of-other-programs – SimonS Dec 30 '15 at 13:15

  • @Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007, not a duplicate. I was asking for a free method to limit the bandwith, the answers only show solutions which you have to pay for. – Black Dec 20 '17 at 07:43

After a few Google seaches I found many free alternatives for NetLimiter.

Also, is it possible that your NetLimiter has destroyed your internet connection settings of your os. It's very unusual that one download task takes the whole bandwith in windows.

Therefore, first of all I would follow this instruction which shows you how to set (or repair) the bandwith settings in windows. A few other methods are here.

  • No the NetLimiter did not destroyed anything, GTA V (DVD Edition) does always take the whole bandwith on any computer. I had the problem before installing NetLimiter. It was the reason why i even installed NetLimiter. – Black Jan 03 '16 at 15:08
