Tbh the option is there to only use local network and if irc that is the default setting Quote. Well, if you're looking to save your Internet connection bandwidth or data usage then you SHOULD enable it - but only for local machines.

In this mode it's essentially a domain-free Windows Server Update Service: your PC will download the updates when possible, then seed those updates to other machines on your network, this will use slightly more local bandwidth of which most people will have a Gigabit and less Internet bandwidth which most people will have only around 20Mbps of bandwidth for.

If you disable the whole local seed update system, all machines will then use the Internet Connection ONLY for their updates; if you have 5 systems in your house, that's 5x more bandwidth and 5x more data used. Think smart on this one, it's a brilliant piece of tech. Originally Posted by Greenback. Tbh the option is there to only use local network and if irc that is the default setting. I agree that turning off the seeding to external clients is a good idea and will save a small amount of bandwidth.

When installing new updates via Windows Update or the Microsoft Store, Windows 10 can consume all of the available Internet bandwidth. A Windows 10 feature can allow you to specify how much Internet bandwidth these update processes can use so that it does not affect other programs. With Windows updates ranging in sizes between MB and MB and feature updates, like the upcoming May Update , potentially being over 2GB, downloading them on slow or metered connections can quickly utilize all of a network's available Internet bandwidth.

The use of all the bandwidth will also cause other programs, such as browsers and games, to not work as well. The good news is that since the Fall Creators Update Windows 10 , a Delivery Optimization feature allows you to specify a percentage of the available bandwidth that Windows Update and the Microsoft Store will use when installing updates.

To limit the bandwidth used by Windows Updates in Windows 10, Windows Store and other Microsoft products, follow these steps:. Drag the slider to set a limit as a percentage that you want to allocate to Windows Update and updates through the Microsoft Store.

With this setting enabled, when Windows 10 performs an update, it will only use the specified amount of bandwidth and thus allow other applications to continue using the Internet without issues. It should be noted that decreasing the bandwidth available for updates will also cause these updates to download slower and for the update process to take longer. This change should help your PC maintain a steadier connection to the internet, which will be helpful while gaming online, steaming to or from Twitch or YouTube and generally speed up your internet connection.

This setting also applies to app updates from the Store and updates for other Microsoft products, not just Windows updates. You can also limit the upload bandwidth used by Windows Update. The sliders here allow you to choose how much bandwidth is used to upload updates to other PCs on the Internet and set a monthly upload limit, which is the maximum amount of data your PC uploads.
