If you are a Pro version user, Folx offers a special feature for you - "Smart speed adjustment".
"Smart speed adjustment" permits to control Folx download speed if there is Internet traffic from a browser or another application. So you may surf the Internet with satisfactory speed while Folx is doing its job.

This option is accessible at "Speed" tab in Preferences (Main menu):

• Drag "Download speed limit" and "Upload speed limit" sliders below to set speed value when there is no Internet traffic from a browser or another application.
• Drag "On network activity" sliders to set Folx download speed value which will be applied during network activity.
• If you disable "Download speed limit" and "Upload speed limit" options, Folx will download files without any speed limitations until network activity appears. When it happens, the speed value, which you've specified by dragging "On network activity" sliders, will be applied.

Additionally, you may customize the following options:

• Respond to the applications: Make a list of applications to which Folx will respond. Folx download/upload speed will automatically be lowered when these applications are active (if "Smart speed adjustment" option is enabled). Click "plus" and "minus" below to manage the list.
• Ignore domains: Make a list of domains to be ignored by Folx. Folx will not automatically lower download/upload speed when these domains (for example, some local resources) are active.

Also, "Smart speed adjustment" option is accessible from Speed panel in Main window:

• Drag "Limit download speed" and "Limit upload speed" sliders to set speed value when there is no Internet traffic from a browser or another application.
• If you want to specify particular Folx speed value when there is network activity, you may do it by dragging "On network activity" slider in Preferences.
• If you disable "Download speed limit" and "Upload speed limit" options in Preferences, Folx will download files without any speed limitations until network activity appears. Therefore these sliders will be inactive in Speed panel. When network activity appears, Folx will apply speed value you've specified by dragging "On network activity" sliders in Preferences.
