The problem is that there are 4 tenants in a house and when we all are at home and if someone of us uses download software such as Torrents, the internet slows down significantly.
As I am the one responsible in a house I kindly asked everyone not to use torrents, especially when more than 2 people are at home. Anyway I do not understand myself: what the hell people download so much to keep torrents on all day and night?
Anyway, still some of people does not listen to me and ignoring my request keep torrents on.
I wonder if there is any way to block torrents via router so it would be fair as none will be able to connect and slow down internet speed? or at least limit internet speed on some laptops that are connected wirelessly?
My router is Technicolor TG582n
Thanks a lot in advance for your help

The torrent upload speed limit should probably be set to about half of the total upload speed available in order to leave plenty of spare capacity for the other users.

as the OP is the person responsible for the account, then simply block any device that fails to comply why any rules you put in the place.
the technicolor router lets you block certain devices.
they will soon start to comply if access is denied to them.

The command line interface to the 582n, accessible via telnet, could be used to configure QoS rules or presumably to block large ranges of ports both incoming and outbound - but it's not particularly user friendly. Perhaps see http://npr.me.uk/ipqos.html
