So i live in a family of four, me my mum and my dad share the same computer, my sister uses her netbook, now heres the problem, if i dont mac ban my sister time to time, our bandwidth just goes down the drain because she is constantly downloading crap, music/movies/videos etc. I'm prepared to do a bit of work to set up a restriction on how much she uses before she gets kicked off, or if i'm able to block some sites, eg RS, etcetc... However i'm not prepared to spend too much money, and my dad doesn't want me mac banning her even though my dad and mum hate her becuase she doesn't give a **** about our pockets. I'f anyone is able to help me do this it would be greatly apprecifited

PS - If you think i can tell her (or my mum or dad) to tell her to stop using so much bandwidth, we've tried and it doesnt work

This ^^

I didnt think of it but ive done it to myself when I download big files and the wife wants the net also.

MAC ban her for a min every 10 or so? just enough to lose her download or re-set her torrent (if she is using them)

also torrents can chew a tone of bandwidth and stop other connection can you ban her from all ports except port 80?

Well if your Router was a Unix host you could take advantage of iptables and create rules to control what comes in and what goes out. But since you don't try using QOS if your router has it available, try looking up your manual. I personally do not have experience with that particular router of yours.
