I just gotta rant. I live with two girls, engaged to one, other is cool. Only problem is her boyfriend decided to show her how to use bittorrent and now she has at least 3 downloads going a day, all day, no matter what. I can't play at all, connectivity sucks, pings are erratic, etc. Kinda disappointing truthfully. I live with girls for crying out loud who woulda thought that these two smoking hot ladies would care a shit about downloads and the stuff. oh well, i'm off to go workout i guess.
stab them
just close/pause the downloads when you play and start them up again after, no one will notice.....

Screw up their bittorant? Or simply limit the amount of bandwidth consumed from the bittorant - like how limewire can...Ridir wrote:

Who pays for what?
Search for an unencrypted network in the vicinity to leech off. That's what I do when my housemates are hogging the bandwidth.
Or give them a nasty virus, that won't even allow them to turn the computer on, whichever works best for you
Does your router have a way to manage bandwidth? If not, get one. You can limit how much bandwidth she gets so you still get enough to keep your pings low.
Its a linksys wireless model, I think I might have a way I have to check on the admin page for it... When she wasn't home the other day I paused them and my girl came home and i got an earful because I went in her room blah blah blah blah blah... then she came home and was kinda butt hurt cause she can't download at night because there are no users on that have the files etc etc....
and we all pay equal, but I gotta find a way to limit her bandwidth its driving me nuts that I can't get on for 2 minutes.

set Qos in router
i wish, but my fiancee is kinda protective, jealous with me and other girls because i'm a bit of a flirt so i get nothing good out of the deal now. rent is cheap but not worth some of the shit i have to deal with. they are exact opposite times of the month so one is either bitchy or moany all the time.rambo43 wrote:

Or talk to her about it.
Heres a fact:
Its actually the UPLOAD that lags your computer most. So, Set her seeding limit to like 3kbps and try your games then. Her download will increase and your connection should be fine. thats how i do it if i need to use the internet.
15 more years! 15 more years!

Yeah, reduce download and upload speeds for it by like half or something. Plus all the other generic comical internet stuff people have said here, do that too.
welcome to my world...
what i did was get a bandwidth controler.
it splits your net into 2 channels
1 for downloading and 1 for other.
she can download to her hearts content and your ping wont be affected in the slightest
HOWEVER
it will affect her overall download speed and your ping.
but atleast u can play.

I take it you mean computer virus, not one that doesnt allow them to turn it on cos they're dead or something?ReDevilJR wrote:

lol, yes, I meant a computer virus. Or default their computer to bootup in safe mode every time, can't access the internet, right?bennisboy wrote:

Show her how to cap the bandwidth used by bittorent, and tell her to use it before you stop paying for a connection you can't use.
Either strange in sleep, or
Use uTorrent > Schedule downloads > Only download at off peak times / whenever you're at work / not playing.
Note, option one is more effective.

then 'obtain' a crack for it
install it on her computer when shes not there and just limit her downloads to a reasonable amount
its a pretty good program, as you can control what is downloading how much, stop usless programs like msn from loading new ads nonstop that slowly chew usage while your trying to game
