Limit bandwidth in Delivery Optimization

Hello,

I tried using Delivery Optimization Advanced Settings but could not see any effect on the download rate of Xbox Install queue.

For example If I set if to

[x] Absolute Bandwidth

[x] Limit background: 1 Mbps

[x] Limit foreground: 1 Mbps

It corresponds to about 4 MB/s during download

How does Microsoft interpret the units "Mbps" and "MB/s"?

Or to put it in other words. What value do I have to enter for the Limit, if I want to download with only 1 MB/s, meaning 1 million byte per second?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

    If you don't do anything else while a download is active, sure. But otherwise I cannot even open a website any more until download is finished which I personally find annoying

    Hey.

    1MB=8Mbit. 1 Byte = 8 bit. So its 1/8. Enter 8Mbps.

    I compared with XBox Installation Queue and with Task Manager- Process - Network column of "Service Host: Network Service".

    After coming back about 2 hours later I could see that download rate now ideed got limited to 1 MBit/s (it now is around 0 to 250 kbyte / s all the time), so it seems setting the option in "Delivery Optimization" needs a computer reboot or a wait time of at least 1 hours to be updated.

    This change should be made available immediately because now I am stuck at the 1MBi/s that I used for testing for the next two hours ;)

    Thanks, that's what i also throught.

    But why do I get 4 MB/s download rate when I enter 1 Mbit/s as limit? I should only get 128 kbyte/s with this limit, shouldn't I?

    I guess it has accidentally be implemented the wrong way around, but I cannot test it because I cannot enter values lower then 1.
