Default Limiting Downloads on just one computer

My brother is a download freak and before he goes to bed at night he queues up several huge movie files for download on bit torrent (and upload files too). The router is in his room and he locks the door at night so I can't go in and restart. I work from home a lot at night and I'm a pretty hardcore gamer too, but his downloading is getting out of hand because I can't even surf the web. Is there any way which I can limit his downloads and improve mine?

I use a Linksys Wireless router, I see an "Access Restrictions" section when I go to 192.168.1.1 and also a "Applications and Gaming" section, which my friend said could be used to optimize the connection for games (right now it's World of Warcraft and COD4). I've never adjusted these before and I need some advice on how to change these settings.

Default Re: Limiting Downloads on just one computer

Hi mediajunkie.
I am going to have to close this thread. The PCHF rules state:
No discussion about illegal pirated or stolen software/movies/games/music
No support for software created to download any of the above


You can read the rules here PC Help Forum - Free PC Help - Announcements in Forum : Important Information

Thread closed

Matt
