Porn Download vs Anime Download
I am big fan of anime. I download most fansubs from the popular Scarywater public tracker. I normally got updated to new anime from AnimeSuki and TokyoToshokan. So far, I am following around 5 new anime series, while having around 15 completed series. Dang, I have to waste more money on CDs.
Anyway, my brother recently found this porn private tracker and has been downloaded porn since then. Me and my brother is sharing internet connection, I’m on cable and he’s on wireless, using a Linksys WRT54G router. Unlike LiewCF’s, mine is still working fine after few weeks working. Looks like mine is more durable 
Well, now I kept getting timeout problems. At first I thought it was TMNet’s fault. It turn out to be my router’s problem. Whenever my brother download porn, I can’t even ping to my router. Pinging to 192.168.1.1 returns a 100% timeout. It’s weird because whenever I download anime, I can still surf, though slower than usual.
So, here’s what I suspect what could have cause the problem.
1. BitComet vs uTorrent.
My brother uses Bitcomet. I’m using uTorrent. Maybe Bitcomet is a big time bandwidth hogger when torrenting.
2. High-end PC vs Low-end PC
My brother is using a Pentium 4. I am on Pentium 3. Maybe his powerful PC hogs all my router’s resource until my PC can’t even communicate to my Router.
3. Wireless vs Cable
I’m on cable port. He’s on wireless. Maybe my router is tired working with wireless, and then the router might not have enough power to work with cable.
4. Porn vs Anime
Maybe the router is bias. Maybe the router hate it when my brother downloaded too much porn until he’s force to stop the download in order to surf.
Weird right? When I download anime, it’s OK for both of us. We can still surf, and my brother can even play online games. When he download porn, both of us can’t surf, both of us suffers timeouts. Argh, stupid router.

Limit the bandwidth your brother and you’re using so you can still do other stuff like limit to 80kB/s loor 60kB/s so you can get extra bandwidth to do online gaming and surfing

what albert said. i limit my upload speeds to 8.0, and i’ll cap my downloads if i need to. if you hit the maximum bandwidth of your service, it will kill your router.

Ehehe… I don’t really like limiting the speed when I can go faster.

Bitcomet > porn > router are the cause for your problem.
Bitcomet hammer trackers frequently, also it suck bandwidth with so many TCP connections to peers.
Porn is highly desirable on the net, you should know that. Always it is over 10000 to 30000 peers on a torrent. The most worst is, Porn seeder/peers USE Bitcomet exclusively! This make the bandwidth sucking worst.
But if your router can handle the crazy TCP connections, you will not encounter the problem. I heard that some new version routers are designed to have the function to handle bittorrent traffic better. I forget the brand name, but mostly likely those famous ones

Thanks for the tip off. And I guess my Linksys WRT54G is an old version.
