Many game downloaders use Bittorrent and that can use UDP. Is there a
way to limit it the download rate in the game?
If you have 100 MBit/s down, set it to 95 and you should still be able
to browse the web on other machines. Also, make sure the upload isn't
that high, some of the game launchers also upload the files to other
players.
If you browse the web with HTTP/HTTPS, TCP is being used that has a
flow control. It will limit the amount of segments being transmit per
second if the ACK segments can't go out in realtime.
So limit the upload in your game launcher too, e.g. to the half of the
available bandwidth.
