how can i tell if my roommate is downloading using a torrent client

[Duck10]

how can i tell if my roommate is downloading using a torrent client ? I've caught my roommate multiple times which slows my Internet down, I've told her to tell me when shes on so i don't DL as well to really slow the net down.

I have the pass to the WiFi and i can change things. and can i stop her from using it ?

Thank s for your help

You can't, really. But you can keep turning off the wifi on her, I guess.

lol true i can do that, but that will also shut off my wifi

How about a way to detect if shes using a torrent client and then i can tell her to shut it down ?

Thanks

You could try going through normal configuration and the troubleshooting guides so that it plays nice. As for detection, one method would be using nmap to scan her ports (may or may not set firewalls off though).

If your router shows a list of all the connections it has in use, you could check that.

BitTorrent almost always has 30+ connections...and incoming ones will all be bound for 1 port on that computer.

It is possible to overload an internet connection with just 1-3 connections in uTorrent, but it unlikely...
