hi guys
my little sister keeps going on torrent websites and downloading music and films using Utorrents i am the one in my house paying for the internet and mum/dad will not help and says she has to be able to connect to the internet.... i dont want to get the blame if she gets told off and get my pc removed from me then i think i may go down for murder..... also i use utorrent for patching games and sharing larges files like home videos with freinds so i only want to block it on her laptop

for my router we are both on a wi-fi network running of the stock O2 router :(
 
disable UPnP port-forwarding, manually port-forward a random port for Torrenting and don't tell your sister what it is. that way you should be able to torrent and she not.

you'd have to manually port-forward everything else as well though.
 
wonder who the parents will blame when the lawyers letters arrive through the door :)
 
If the parents have any brains they'll tell the pay up scam where to go (although ACS seems to be going down the pan already :D)

You can't block torrents.

If one port is port to a computer it can use it for anything, hence the internet is one big free-for-all.

I have an idea , Post a letter to your home , listing torrents that have been downloaded, and when , and say 1st strike !!! It would be a tad mean , but it will highlight the errors of your teenage adolesent sisters ways, and will be funny at a christmas party sometime in the future

And parents respond far better to postal warnings than any thread

Just know im not advocting this plan , might get you in trouble etc etc, but it will work , just might get messy if executed wrong
