My sister is using uTorrent and she is sucking up all the bandwith. How can I limit her? Block her uTorrent?

Question

I have a Linksys WRT54G.

*I've asked her and she claims she closes it but when I check it with remote desktop she's still running it of course*

Answer 1

i would open up the utorrent, and pause whatever she is downloading, while you need the band with. If she isn't downloading anything, then close the program, then right click over the uTorrent symbol in the bottom right corner, then click close.

Answer 2

If she isn't an expert,

Fire up uTorrent,

Options>Preferences>connection><set values for global bandwidth limit>

Answer 3

Uninstall the program or delete all shortcuts or  paths leading to the program.

Answer 4

You can limit her speed on it, Options->Preferences->Connection you will see at the bottom there are a couple of text boxes.  One limits the upload rate, and the other limits the download rate.

Change those and you will be good to go,

Answer 5

there are settings in the torrent software to set download an upload speeds, by default they are set to max so she needs to set then at about 100-200 Kbps should be good
