I have a 1Mbps broadband internet connection. I am sharing this on my PC by using Windows Connection Sharing, so that my roommate can also access the internet. I want to set a speed limit of 500Kbps on both the PCs, so that each one gets his fair share.
I'm using Windows Vista, and my friend is using Windows 7.
Is this possible in Windows (or Linux)? Third-party freeware is fine.

You can use NetLimiter 3 to limit your bandwidth:

With limits you can easily manage your internet connection's bandwidth (bandwidth shaper) and share it among all applications running on your computer"
. However, you need NetLimiter 3 Lite (or Pro) for this feature, which is not free.
