Copying with queue, define speed before starting to copy

Hi,
is it possible to add an option to define the max speed of copying data before I start to copy files.
Please add one field where i can check a box an type in the speed before starting. By default the checkbox should be disabled. That would be great, because i copy a lot of files over a network on a remote server and if I don't regulate the speed the whole network collapses
Thank you.

* Open the Background Transfer Manager (menu Commands/Background Transfer Manager)
* Set speed in Background Transfer Manager
* Copy through the Background Transfer Manager
Does this work for you?
You may want to set SpeedLimitEnabled=1 in wincmd.ini.
TOTALCMD.CHM: Settings in the file wincmd.ini wrote:SpeedLimit=5.0
Last used speed limit in kBytes/s in the background transfer manager
SpeedLimitEnabled=0
1: Enable speed limit immediately when opening background transfer manager

Well it works, but is kinda uncomfortable for me, because i copy quite a lot data...

This does not seem to have any effect on my TC. I'm using V8.01 64bit.

I use V8.01 32bit and it does work. Remember that it only enables the speed limit for the background transfer manager (copying with F2 Queue). Please confirm that when you set SpeedLimitEnabled=1 in wincmd.ini and open the background transfer manager (cm_OpenTransferManager) the speed limit checkbox is not checked in your case.

The SpeedLimit=5.0 does take effect, but not setting the SpeedLimitEnabled to the value 1.
Is there specific place where I have to insert it? It was not in my wincmd.ini, i added it...

The SpeedLimitEnabled setting must be in the same section as the SpeedLimit setting, that is: "[Configuration]"
If it does not work then it is a bug. Can you also try the 32bit version?
