    Hello,

    I have moved into a house with roomates which I share internet with, however we are having trouble with downloads, someones downloading too musch.

    I was wondering if there was any way to stop or allocate us a certain download limit.

    We use a wireless negear router.

    Thx.

    your basic router won't allow you to assign limits, I think what you need is a router with QOS control or you can take advantage of the WRT project. DD-WRT :: News

    are you using the same computer? if you are, you can use [google]Netmeter[/google] to monitor the downloads.

    Hi

    I am more intrested in monitoring the downloads of my room mates.

    I just want to be sure each of us is using the internet fairly.
    Is there anything that will allow me to do this.
    The router that I received was from Virgin, a Netgear router.

    Will this router allow me to do this.

    Thx
