Opera: Limit download speed - how it works
Unfortunately, you cannot limit the download speed directly under Opera. Here we explain how you can restrict the data flow with the "NetLimiter" and leave it to other programs from the Internet.
Limit downloads in the Opera browser
- Download the "NetLimiter" and install the program on your PC. Make sure that you are running the correct version of the "NetLimiter", which is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
- For the changes to take effect, restart your computer next.
- Then run both Opera and NetLimiter.
- The entry "Opera Internet Browser" now appears in the NetLimiter program interface.
- Click on the numerical value in the "DL Limit" column. Usually this is set to "5120".
- Then a dialog window opens. Set a new value here and check the "Enabled" check box.
- As soon as you click on "Save", the download speed of the Opera browser is limited.
