"False Advertising - Blocks Nothing Unless You pay"
Version: NetLimiter 1.3
Pros
Perhaps the name of the program?
Cons
The free limited version is not very useful at all. In reading reviews, you are led to believe that buying the program gives you extras. However, one needs to buy the program to actually block anything. Too much limited functionality. Therefore, thumbs down.

"Gives false reading"
Version: NetLimiter 1.3
Pros
limits bandwith but accuracy is bad
Cons
gives false readings where services not running are appearing as online and consuming large amounts of bandwidth
Summary
look for alternate solutions
-
"Limits downloads"
Version: NetLimiter 1.3
Pros
I limit steam to 300 kbps to stop it from hogging my entire bandwidth and having other people complain nothing works.
Cons
Sometimes doesn't boot... not very often but happens 1 out of 30 times for no apparent reason.
Summary
If you need to reserve bandwidth and some program in particular is hogging all of it, you can enable this on a client basis to improve performance.

"Blue Screen"
Version: NetLimiter 1.3
Pros
Fails epically!
Cons
Blue Screens system upon boot. Had to use system restore. Absolute trash!
Summary
Don't install it. You have been warned! (WINDOWS 7)
-
"Absolute Junk"
Version: NetLimiter 1.3
Pros
Couldn't install this software as it froze at 75% on several installs.
Cons
This ruins your system. Beware...if you attempt to install this, make sure you're using a test system or have a backup/system restore.
Summary
This software would not even install - froze at 75% trying to install it twice. Locked up my system and I had to reboot to recover, as the network lost connection via this installation routine.

"Stopped mail spam with one click."
Version: NetLimiter 1.3
Pros
I have a trojan mail spammer in my services.exe file. Blocked that file from the internet and all spam stopped, I can actually use my computer to fix this issue.
Cons
None so far.
-
"Blue screened twice in 2 days"
Version: NetLimiter 1.3
Pros
Nice user interface.
Cons
I installed Netlimiter, and within 2 days, Windows (Vista) had blue-screened twice (which is very unusual for my PC. It is normally quite stable).
Browsing speed was also significantly reduced. It took at least twice as long to download web pages.Summary
I would buy the product if it a) didn't crash and b) didn't impact system performance.

"great little freebie with lots of hidden talents"
Version: NetLimiter 1.3

it drills down to all the info available but it takes time to remember it all. runs quietly in the background and is there when needed.
Cons
i have no documentation but a bad memory and have to try and remember how i did it last time.
