Lets just say no. The huge issue is the problem is almost always using up the download capacity. When the connection to your house is overloaded the ISP will decide to discard traffic.

You should really never need to prioritize data on your pc itself. If you only run the game it will be able to use all the resources. If you run multiple programs you quickly get into won't it be easier to not run all those competing programs rather than finding software to manage them.
