You can now find the “Throttle Downloads” option in the settings, which you can use to limit the downloads. Update: You can now throttle downloads in the Epic Games Launcher. Unfortunately, it is not possible to set a maximum download speed, so the entire bandwidth is always used when downloading. In the current version of the Epic Games Launcher (including the beta versions) there currently (unfortunately) seems to be no setting option with which you can limit the download of Fortnite and other games.
In other game clients such as Steam, Origin or Uplay there is now a setting option with which you can limit the download speed, but what does it actually look like in the Epic Games Launcher? Epic Games Launcher: Limit download speed? How to limit downloads in Epic Games Launcher? Is there a maximum download speed that can be set somewhere? This may be the question asked by some users of the Epic Games Launcher who want to download a game like Fortnite but don’t want to take up the entire bandwidth with the download or update.
