How to control downloads

[Habakuk]

Know nothing about android, some or other app is forever downloading something. How do I stop/schedule/control? Find nothing in settings.

It is in settings -> data traffic management, depends on the UI on the device but that's what it is called on mine

Download glasswire on the play store, that ap should be able to view what apps are going nuts. Im sure the app can block and stuff like that. Never used it.

Are you using the phone as a hotspot for another device? If it is a Windows device you can use a download manager for this. Give us a better idea of setup and I'm sure we can suggest something

Are you using Utorrent? I am not sure about the mobile app, but the desktop client can schedule when to download and when not to.

Before I had fibre, I used to set my downloads to only download when I am not at home, and from midnight to 4 am

Maybe play around in the settings and see what you can do and revert back.

Use uTorrent, it has a scheduler

Advanced Download Manager.

I use it on my media player to download from Real Debrid and Cyberflix. All downloads go through it. You decide when they start and what bandwidth they can use.

Even on my phone?

only reason i dislike utorrent is because i hate searching for a torrent myself and sometimes used to download wrong langauges

Eish, maybe you should then leave the downloading for the Pro's and just leach from them
