Need to restrict bandwidth allowance (free software help!)

[Docaroo]

Hi there...

Can anyone point me to free software to stop my brothers raping the net connection silly with torrents??

I have a Netgear wireless router and would like to only allow them to have a set amount of the network speed so their torrents are still running but I can play CS:S and stuff at the same time???

Hope that makes sense!

Well I've got a second pc downloading torrents in the same set up, just set the other pc to have a max download of 20kb/s lower than the maximum available on my line. Works perfectly fine

yeh but it's far easier to do it remotely - for one reason when I'm not playing CSS the torrent can go full speed no problem so it would be really handy if I could limit the connection for say an hour and then change it bacK?! any ideaS? thanks!
