Is there a way for your computer to suck up all the bandwidth of a internet service provider and leave the other computers hooked up to it dry?
If you can find out a way to do that, I will fucking bow to your knees because someone in our family likes to suck internet bandwidth dick by downloading man-porn all day so I can't play any fucking L4D.

I assume you have a router, just look for some firmware that supports QoS. I just use it to filter BT traffic and prioritize other stuff.

took the words out of my keyboard. check out bandwidith throttling for routers and you'll find out about QoS features in routers. there's a lot to read, but once you know the basics its easy to enable it in your router. most routers should have the feature now, but if you have an older one the feature might not be available. Here's how i set up my router so that my computer and my wireless PS3 has the most priority.

You could just put the upload rate on their torrent program to like 1kbps and that should fix it.

If you think a family is all happy-face and they live happily ever after, then you are seriously wrong sir.

You could also cut them off completely by putting on MAC authorisation, if it really is as bad as you say.

Pretty sure that OP's family would get suspicious if the OP is suddenly and mysteriously the only one with working internet.

Better solution is to just cap everyone else's internet so that they can't hog it all with pron DLs.

The QoS does not help me at all. I have tried endless times... but that doesnt stop youtube streaming from fucking up my connection

What eats more bandwidth, the DL or UL from torrent applications? I've had the same problem, but just dealt with it by skipping videos entirely until the download is complete.

Hes just prioritizing different ports, so he won't lag if hes playing PS3 and someone decides to torrent. Then when hes done, the torrents should resume their normal speed. Before I set QoS, I would usually spike all day when I play DotA, so I just set my MAC address to have highest priority, since my sister refuses to torrent overnight and does it during the day for whatever reason. If QoS doesn't work, you probably have a slow connection or something, or you could try changing firmwares :x

DL/UL for torrents really depend on your ISP, on some programs (Like BitComet) you can usually get away with limiting your UL speed without affecting DL speeds

Did you not read the posts or just ignoring them? Or what Murphy said you dont have a router?
Its so easy to adjust the settings on that interface anyway.

I do have the router, but that feature isn't in there
I have a WRT54G, and I did check out the first post, and didn't have that kind of settings.

I have a novel idea. Go to google. Type your model of router into it, and then append "control traffic" or "control bandwidth."
You are crushing me like a cheese sandwich

I have the WRT54GL with the Tomato firmware on it and it has QoS, maybe you could try that? There's also lots of other custom firmwares out there. They shouldn't be too hard to install.
