So lately my older brother has been MASSIVELY downloading "movies".
You know what I'm getting at here.
He uses up all the bandwidth and I can barely open up a blank Google page.
His connection remains normal and he refuses to admit he is torrenting when I look at his screen, see Vuze/Azureus, and ask him to stop.
How can I slow his downloads down?
Or limit them, or even give me back my share of the bandwidth?
i don't know your total bandwidth, but you can ask him to limit his download speed to 300/400KB download and 25/30 KB upload, it's plenty of bw to download stuff from torrent.. you can set the global speed limitations from his Vuze settings 
scare him and tell him that's how the cops find online piraters. they look for people using mass amounts of bandwidth like that.
Explain it to your parents. I hope for his sake that your older brother doesn't think he is smart in hiding it when the whole house knows what he does…

You sound like my brother before he got the balls to ask me to reduce my bandwidth.
if you have some router then use it to block torrent ports

That's why you need to be the pc wizz kid of the family, so you have full control.

Seeking infinity, with all my affinities.
Finding truth, like a falling fruit, my ultimate finality.
Inside my being, the outside, all things; the finite leads the way.

writing from memory might be a bit off. but that would block 99% of torrents

I don't use Vuze much.
How would I go about doing that gabryel48?
I could sneak on his computer.
Sadly, he is the PC Wiz, and is a very smart child.
I would bluff him, but sadly that doesn't work.
I am considering growing the balls and calling him out directly, though.
in that case you just have to convince him, maybe hiding his mice, keyboard, speakers, in secret places in the house XD
ok seriously if you explain him that he can download whatever from torrent even with the upload limited to 20KB/sec (im sure he already knows) he will limit it

sounds fair. if he can't use the computer, neither should his brother

He would probably notice the change in settings right away. It would take him 10 seconds to get the full bandwidth back. Closing ports sounds a little bit more promising. But you need admin access to your router for that. Better even if he doesn't have the admin password to it. If he has, he may lift the torrent port blocks just like the bandwidth limitation. Only it would take him a bit loonger to find the source of his dead torrents.
Going to up to him and open the Vuze window with all the downloads in it right after he told you he is not downloading anything might be the best way. Possibly with your parents in the room, if you think he might physically stop you from doing so. Do your parents use the Internet too? / Are they affected by this as well? It would make things a lot easier.
how about you add a "virus" to his pc that does nothing but just restarts pc whenever he tries to run Vuze.
but making a big "scene" when parents are around is better idea

Ok thanks, I'll write them down, you never know when you might need em.
Call the FBI (or your country's equivalent) to come and scare him straight.
