Is it possible to use a different network port for file transferring (IContentService)?
We have limited network bandwidth between server and remote sites, sometimes, remote site user will experience a VERY poor system performance while one of them is downloading the files, content proxy server is a good solution for this issue excepting for the first time download, so we would wonder that if it is possible to use a different port for file transferring so that we could easy to manage the bandwidth usage with a network shaper?

Hi Makson,
I have two work arounds for you:
1. You can try using distributed scm and having two servers: one internal and another external one (with higher bandtwitch) This might reduce your connection usage at least next time. See more information on https://jazz.net/library/article/535/#Enable_distributed
2. If you do not need to checking the code but only downloading certain files, you can send them on the separate server as build result.
Let me know if at least one solution helps for you.
Best regards,
