Currently sharing a house with 6 other people on one ADSL connection, the sync speeds are 18.8mbps down and 888kbps up. The internet is always bad, tbh it's to be expected in a house with this many people and also some people like to watch iPlayer or what not and that's totally reasonable to want to do so, however having looked at the usage data in my routers usage page (I brought my own router up as the supplied one is crap, it's a Netgear DGND3000v2) what startled me the most was the amount of upload that is taking place.

I don't know how much most people upload but that's averaging over 100MB per person per day... surely that's too much?
I suspect someone is torrenting without saying so but it's hard to prove, is there anyway I can block torrenting, or be able to see which IPs are downloading/uploading?
I've tried banning keywords and have banned the following:
torrent
tracker
thepiratebay
d1:ad2 (I read somewhere this is meant to block people connecting via DHT Network)
any help would be great, thanks.
Currently I've been trying to download a game on steam and it's trundling along at 125KB/s which by my calculations is 1Mbps, this is awful.
