For you networking geeks

[pixl]

Netlimiter Pro 2 will let you install and hide the Netlimiter service. Then from your computer, you can remotely connect and set speeds for each application individually. As long as he isn't too tech savvy, then he won't know it's there and more importantly, won't know how to disable it. Looking at around $30USD for this solution.

I currently run a hardware based solution; Clarkconnect. Similar to Smoothwall/IP Cop/pfSense et al. I've used them all and been happy with Clarkconnect for the last 6 years. You set upload and download limits in kbps, so 128kbps is roughly 16kB/s. You can apply it to certain ports for instance their P2P or BitTorrent port or all ports. This solution is free, however, if you're not too familiar with networking, it can be a bit of a challenge.

Pity you're not in Melbourne, I would've helped you get up and running as I know how frustrating your situation is.

Thanks for your oppion guys, I have not yet setup any software yet.

I have just warn them of internet changes next month with involves costs and briefly ran over the situation.

I dont wanna be stingy but this is my house! I am happy to share but Hogging bandwith is not cool!!

If worse comes to worst, easiest way is to cut it off internet completely. I can not put up with tip toeing in my own home anymore. Let not get into the issue of "friend" coming over and having to put up with noises I do not need to hear late at night. Especially on my days off!!

Just make your own noises in your own room, then when they stop making their noises ask them to keep going because "you were almost there"

Problem solved.
