ST1 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hey all,I work in a Office. and we have Uncapped Internet. which i pay for out of my own pocket. but every now and then I get NO Bandwidth. and today i saw him again downloading like a maniac on Utorrent. So how do i stop him from Downloading with UTorrent?Im getting like 2k download and when he leaves it shoots up to 80k Please assist.I cant cut him off the internet completely cos he needs to work... just need to disable his utorrent. i do have access to his pc but if i delete Utorrent off his machine he will just reload it and add a password to his machine.

DreadWingKnight Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Blocking torrent clients from operating is not a trivial process (there was a thread on this recently I think, if not a long IRC chat), port-based blocking just plain doesn't work.The best option you probably have is to limit how much bandwidth he's permitted to use out of the connection.

ST1 Posted July 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 How do i do that? he is on windows 7. and he connect to the Wireless on our router?If i adjust his setting in Utorrent he will surely figure it out and just change it back then password protect his PC and my window of opportunity will be lost...

DreadWingKnight Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 You would do the speed limiting of his computer on the router in such a way that he doesn't have control over it.How you would do that depends on which router you have and if the router has a firmware available that allows you to speed limit per computer.

Switeck Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Find a happy medium for him, otherwise you'll both be fighting and get less work done.uTorrent need not be slowed down much -- in fact, it will probably be FASTER if it's not overloading the connection constantly.
