Bradley_006 Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 My sister in the next room uses high internet consuming programs which drains my speed because we're on a network. What can i do to get more speed and slow hers down? BTW my computer has about 4x more RAM than hers and double the memory. Help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3nic Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I don't actually think it's possible to do what you're talking about. If your sister is downloading that's going to cause you major problems with your internet speed. Just make sure she isn't downloading, eg running limewire or downloading some sort of torrents as these eat internet speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabola Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 If she's using peer to peer services, find out what ports they're using and block them on the router's firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron8000 Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 But then she'll be nagging me "why wont my limewire work" tell your parents its illegal, that'll stop her. If you do it to, tell them its a virus risk and just hide yours :wink: . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomster Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 http://www.cfos.com/speed/cfosspeed_e.htm Note the BETA, multiuser version - maybe that can achieve fair co-operation, though it would need to be on both machines, that's about 30 EU. You might be able to get one free licence by submitting an ISP test, if they don't already have yours listed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooberman Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Go into the limewire settings on her computer and limit the maximum download and upload speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblade986 Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 I know there are routers that cost a bit of money, but they can prioritize internet usage to a computer or something. You could see if your parents would invest in one and have it prioritize to your computer. Your sister needs to learn to share the connection, so by limiting the amount she can use, she'll learn to share it, willingly or not. don't worry, you are going to "hell" anyway. wanna race to see who gets there first?Officially reached 100 Combat at 1:33PM EST, June 14, 2007First Dragon Drop: Dragon Chain (Dust Devils) @ 10:48PM EST, July 14, 2008, lv113 combat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no_way2go Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 Dark blade, any router can do that as long as you know what ports to block :) - Back to casual f2p scaping due to limited time (university and girlfriend ) - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
