I have a Asus RT-AC5300 and would like to slow down IDM with QOS somehow if possible? Everything else seems to work fine with doing this. I don't want to speed limit IDM. Thanks.

Sorry I should of been more detailed anyway I mean have the speed go down of IDM when another device is in use in the home. Like a Roku in another room. That way it doesn't buffer.

I think I found the issue whenever I download straight from Google servers it interrupts/lags my streaming live tv service video on my Roku.

For example download this with IDM https://drive.google.com/uc?id=18CnyqnxlVpLj1qTdt1I5RIhTBi2Uy4xn&export=download

You will see with QOS enabled.

It classifies it as Net Control Packets instead of File Sharing 😞


Now download this https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop it classifies it as File Sharing like it should.


Weird.
