I'm planning to download about 12 GB of files but I want to make sure it doesn't interfere with my family's gaming and streaming activities, such as watching 'Hells Paradise'. Can I limit my overall download speed on my PC to achieve that?

Honestly, just enable QoS on your router if you can. It should automatically give priority to streaming and gaming, which helps make sure your downloads don't mess things up.
In the end, it depends on your internet speed and how many devices are connected. If you have decent bandwidth, you should be fine downloading while they stream.
You can also look into apps that limit your speed like NetBalancer or NetLimiter. Alternatively, you could adjust settings on your router to give priority to your family's devices.
You might want to try an app like Free Download Manager. It lets you limit your download speed, which can help keep your family's gaming and streaming smooth.
Check your router's documentation for a QoS (Quality of Service) feature. This can prioritize certain devices, so your game console gets enough bandwidth while you download files.
