How can I get Fedora 16 to balance internet bandwidth?

[desouzaalex]

Anytime I'm downloading something on Firefox or watching some stream video, it will use all my bandwidth so that it becomes impossible to load any page at all - even Google! I come from Windows 7 and it knew how to balance bandwidth between two or more applications so that I could still surf on the web while downloading something.

Is something wrong? There's a way to fix that?

• OS: Fedora 16 (32 bits)
• Internet connection type: ADSL

Thanks in advance.

Well, all of a sudden - I don't know why-, it stopped happening and now I can download and browse at the same time with no problem.

It's already solved, but if someone has any clue on what happened, I'd appreciate to know.
