Are you primarily worried about large media files inside the course? If so, you may be able to "offload" these to a streaming service so that the videos are downloaded only as needed, and SL does not try to pre-fetch any assets it doesn't need immediately.
Great question. No I am not specifically speaking about large media. My organization would like to control the amount of space that Articulate uses when in downloads across the network.
So let’s say I have a 5 gigabit switch. I want to figure out a way to only use 1.5 gigabits of that space; even if more space is available.
I see now. If you are pulling all of the courses from a particular server or using particular ports, you can probably restrict bandwidth on a managed switch or firewall with some rules set up for that IP address. This is a little beyond my abilities, I just know that it should be able to be done.

Hi Jared,
I haven't seen any threads or examples as such, but hopefully someone in the community will be able to pop in and assist you.
Jared,

Let me know if I misunderstood your question.
Thanks,
