212 Squadron - "The Old Man's Eyes And Ears"
Though this is a tech issue, it's not WC, so I'm putting it here.
Basically, my living arrangements mean I share an Internet connection and by and large this is not a problem. I'm really the only one who uses it. However, I found out this kid is coming by later this week and every time he visits (we're talking a month), my connection goes to crap and I often can't do anything on the internet. He sucks up all the bandwidth so I'm forced to reboot the router every night, sometimes two or three times. I'm assuming that, because of his age, he's torrenting a ton of files with no regard for anyone else.
Basically, I want to limit his bandwidth. I already played around with the QoS settings on the Linksys WRT54GS and limited things like restricting websites and searches for files that end in certain extensions. However, I'd really like to just choke his bandwidth down so he can use the Internet and nothing more than YouTube.
This is a little out of my jurisdiction. I was never good at network stuff, so I'm asking people here for suggestions. And if you can, write them out like like I'm an idiot. Because I am when it comes to this kinda stuff.
