Nope, not torrents. Unfortunately after training the household to download overnight if they really needed to I'm stuck with a new problem: Spotify. Since my sister bought a netbook she's permanently listening to music over the net, I thought at first it was just internet radio and she had a torrent program still running in the background without realising. After using her pc whilst we were away (family trip) she showed me exactly what spotify was and after reading the FAQ it says it uses P2P:
My router supposedly has QoS, filtering etc however none of it seems to work (linksys wrt54gs, blocked ports I use for sites yet still had full access). Started building a linux router but it was far too complicated and over my head, no one walkthrough seems to work from start to finish and I don't understand what individual parts do to figure it out for myself.
I'm really at a loss as to what to do as it has made gaming impossible due to shooting pings through the roof (average 300ms on what is normally a 30ms server.) Does anyone else use it? Is it possible to change a setting in the program to stop it using P2P?
