If I'm downloading some file, is there any way I can cap the download speed (so that the other person using the internet can still have enough bandwidth to stream video)?

Thanks

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page, and look for a download manager. I use one and set it up to download only two at a time. When one download is done, it will start the next one automatically. This way, I can keep surfing the web and not worry about bandwidth.

What you suggest will limit the number of simultaneous downloads, not the speed. It wouldn't solve my problem.

No, but it limits what the down-loader is doing.
