torrent downloads in network

[odyody]

I am a part of 4 people with the same adsl line , sometimes i am alone on the line other times members r online while i am online , some times they open pc without using the internet or just
limited use

My question is :
What is the settings recommended not to prevent others from using the internet while making all the time they don not use the internet with maximum speed

is download priority in u torrent is enough or using another client ?

I want some flexible way that automatically increase and decrease download speed according to other members use of internet not only opening their pc

set bandwidth use to low

set bandwidth use to low

But i think that bandwidth allocation is for your personal pc only not related to the network itself , so i asked the question and waiting others to confirm if bandwidth allocation is related to the network or not

It would have to run on the router and no consumer router has that feature. Maybe you can get it third party firmware but dynamic adjustment of load levels is a very advanced feature. You generally need a device called a traffic shaper to do it. some commerical routers can partially do this but generally you need a dedicated appliance device and they are not cheap.

Still you likely can only partially achieve this. You can really only control the upload rate. Traffic being sent to you is controlled by the ISP by the time any equipment at your location can do anything it is too late. The ISP has decided which traffic to drop or send and you can note recreate the dropped traffic after the fact.

You can load things like dd-wrt they do have some ability to do what you need but it will be limited to a fixed rates not based on load

what is the role of upload limit ? and what is dd-wrt ?
You means that no software or certain configuration in the router helping distribution of internet according to load

dd-wrt is the software that can partially do functions like this. It is a different OS for the router. You likely need to do a lot of study before you attempt this if you do not even know what this is.

Still your main problem is with the download side of the connection to your house. Say you have 10m of bandwidth. You are attempting to download 2 files and one is being sent at 7m/sec and the other at 5m/sec. When the ISP get the data and tries to fit it in the 10m connection going to your house 2m won't fit. It randomly throws away 2m. Now the remaining 10m get to your house with 2m missing. What can any device in you house do about this. It can't undelete data and throw away other data. Only the ISP can really do this.

The ISP technically can do what you want because they have routers that have traffic shaping features....that is actually how they sell different speeds on the same connection to different users. When you upgrade say from 5m to 10m they just change the traffic shaper.

This is something they offer for commercial customers that will pay for the service and have skilled staff to work with the ISP in setting it up. They just do not want to bother with home users who generally think the router is some magic box.

practical speaking download limit is the best solution at the time of high load of other members ,,,,, but sorry for bogging you can be a software that limit download speed for torrent clients at certain times and increase it gain as i know the usual times of high traffic for my lan
