[SOLVED] Does limiting download speed make my pc use less bandwidth?

[peter182]

I am downloading something on my pc and i have the option to limit the download speed to a certain amount (900 kbs, 800kbs, etc). Will doing this make my pc use less bandwidth/internet? OR will my pc hoard bandwidth but just not use all of it?

Btw, im using utorrent to download

Yes it will reduce the load on your available download bandwidth...it's useful if you want to do something else online while downloading or have other users in the house who don't appreciate slow internet.

downloading what from utorrent?
it will limit what utorrent will use, nothing else
