With my wife, we are working at home, and when I download a patch like the last one (4Gb), it eats my networks bandwidth for several hours, and we cannot work properly during this long time... This feature is a classic feature on any other client download applications. Thanks for your help. https://www.netlimiter.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGTUuOIBmHM	Posted by jorge22#4493 on Jan 27, 2022, 3:15:03 PM Quote this Post

That was a few years ago now, and I’m not clear on whether they’re “still” not doing it or are not doing it “again”. Recently a member of GGG reached out to me about one of my guide threads asking that I edit the address out of the post, which is why it’s on my mind again.

I suspect the question answers itself. With Path of Exile being available through Steam (for most users), reproducing any of the functionality offered by Steam is likely very low on the list of priorities. If PoE is available through Steam where you live, it may be worth switching over to the other client - though it would mean a reinstall. No offence to anyone. However, I'm shocked by the logic. Path of Exile is a game and there are loooooooottss of other games then why Path of Exile is there? P.S.: Yes, I was searching for how to limit PoE updater bandwidth.
