You might be able to do this via your router. Read up on QoS, this will allow you to limit speeds according to ports etc.
If you have a spare low spec base unit you can always install UNTANGLE on it which has that type of facility on it along with a number of other network tools.Hope this helps ;-)

sorry you cant. just tell them not to download using torrents, or you should tell them no one uses youtube or any kind of online streaming vids and music except for softwares used to contact families here and abroad like skype and etc. tell them you are FIVE people using the internet and not their PERSONAL internet. tell them be considerate to others
