I didn't see a way to cap FTP, but the option to cap HTTP is un the 'Performance' tab in the server's properties.

Just found what will do the trick. I enabled global bandwidth throttling in IIS. I bumped it down to 5 from 1024 kb/s. I am assuming the kb/s is kiloBytes/sec not kilobits/s.
 
The server is running on my cable modem, and I didn't want FTP and HTTP eating into my gaming bandwidth.
 
If any of you see something wrong, feel free to chime in.
 
Thanks...

That's the way I remember it also. kilobits/sec didn't make sense in this instance, for some reason.

The global bandwidth throttling doesn't seem to be doing the trick. Do I need another service to be running in order for this to work?
