February 4, 2009 – SeriousBit, a fast-growing software developer, announces the release of NetBalancer 1.1. This traffic shaping tool with lots of useful features lets you combine browsing the Internet and downloading huge files without any inconvenience.

How to combine all required network activities without getting annoyed by low speed? Most traffic shaping tools set speed limits for applications and processes, though it is not very convenient either. For example, you limit your downloading speed and surf your favorite web site.
