Hack&Lube · 10-08-2010, 11:01 AM

So my roommate who I am letting live here for free for awhile while she is unemployed is eating away all my bandwidth with torrents for Twilight or Glee Club or True Blood or whatever.

Unfortunately, I think she's using utorrent which randomly assigns a port and I can't break into her computer for both ethical and practical reasons to figure out what this is.

I don't want to stop her from torrenting, I just want to throttle her somewhat. Is there anything I can do surrepticiously from my end? Yes I could just ask her to stop but there's nothing I could do if she starts up again and I want to be a sneaky IT ninja and avoid confrontation.
