Limit bandwidth when testing MVC web application in Visual Studio

Is there any way of limiting the bandwidth of the connection to the test server that runs locally when testing a web application in Visual Studio?

You would want this, for exmaple, to be able to test loading animations or file upload processesing.

You can do that with Fiddler, go to the Rules menu and then Performance / Simulate modem speeds.

There are tools like NetLimiter (http://www.netlimiter.com/) and NetBalancer(http://seriousbit.com/netbalancer/).

Both allow you to limit traffic either globally or for specific applications (which might be handy). I used NetLimiter in the past, NetBalancer seems to have better support for Windows 8 though.
