Seems like your router doesn't support ways to limit the bandwidth.  The ddwrt thing is a software upgrade for your router.  I'm not 100% sure that will help you anyway unless their software has options to limit the bandwidth with your exact model.  If you try that upgrade and it doesn't work though, then your router will be dead and worthless. 

I'd tell the guy to stop download'n stuff period.  Cause that's your router and he's lagging you.  Who's name is on the internet bill?  If it's yours, then he can get his own connection if he has a problem with it, or have some respect.

That's pretty sweet then.  But he does need to know if something does go wrong, his router is dead.

its my name on the internet bill, but we split the bills 1/2 and 1/2 of course. it wouldnt really be fair for me to ask him to completely stop doing what he wants with the internet. thats why putting a cap on his bandwidth usage seems like the best solution.

i did check out the dd-wrt website. unfortunately, the program does not work with my specific firmware version of my router. i checked about updating my firmware for my router, and there was an update, but it still did not put my router in a position to be compatible with the program.

anyone have any other programs/suggestions like this? this seemed to be the exact solution i was looking for...too bad i cant use it.

Hire Sonic with a K-BAR to beat him until he limits it.

Seriously, how much can one torrent?

Regarding books for a kindle.

and wow patches. those also slow my connection down and make it to where i cannot find xbl games.

WoW is such a waste of time. There's no way you pay me enough to play that game.

It isn't really fair of him to use all the bandwidth, either.

Seems like your solutions are, get a router that works with this thing or make him stop tormenting with torrent.

I agree 100%.  I'd be better to pay the total internet bill yourself then to get dialup access at best.  I understand you're trying to be fair with the guy, but it seems he's completely disrespecting you.  So i'd say stop, or get your own connection.

Well, that's your opinion, and some millions of people don't share it

Millions of people think that Justin Bieber is the best thing since sliced bread, too.

Justin Bieber sounds like a 12-year-old girl.
