I like to control the network bandwidth of each process/app on my linux, both ways (download, and upload), as well as my pc overall bandwidth. is that achievable on Linux ? Thanks

Portmaster might do something like that but i haven't used it in a while.

You can control that using TC, also add latency and packet loss if you want. It's really powerful, although a bit difficult to learn.

90% of the more advanced Linux tools - they're what make the platform so great in my opinion, but the usability tends to get in the way of the full potential

hopefully its not cli, but if it is and it fullfills my needs i ll probably have to learn how to use it

You want to do this on a specific machine and not across your network? QoS rules are usually applied at a router or managed switch. I've done something like this for troubleshooting a specific network condition with a local proxy before, but never for everything running on a machine.
