My roomates "You tubing" is hogging the bandwidth?
Hi there.
I live with 2 roommates and recently i noticed a problem. whenever they are on Youtube, they are hogging the bandwidth. Per instance, if i play online the ping skyrockets and when I browse webpages it goes slow to a point where there are some things i cant do at all. (Looking for a route on Google map per instance)
We split the connection using a WRT54G Linksys router.
I was wondering if I could split our connection equal ways (putting a upload/download cap) or if there was something I could do to throttle their connection so I can use it. (sometimes they watch you tube or streams from 6pm to 4 am and I cant play FPS at all)
If its doable, I would love it if you could give me the steps or give me a link because so far I haven't found anything
Thanks for your help!
3 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoGTA4 Assassin's missions?
I'm working toward the 100% game complete but there's a thing. I finished the game thinking i could do the things i left out for later ( i did all the random encounters though) but I started to wonder If i did the assassination missions. I don't want to do all the jumps and pigeons if I get stuck because of that.
So first question : How can I check If I did them all. I checked in my stats... couldn't find it.
Second question : I know you're supposed to be able to do theses mission after "story complete" but If I didn't start them can I still do them? Will I get the call?
Thanks for your help!

1 AnswerGastronomie et boisson - Divers1 decade agoCustom psp+tool battery Warranty?
I have a psp-2000 that I bought 8months ago. Last month the UMD reader stopped working. The little plastic stick meant to detect the presence of the UMD is still there and in one piece so the problem seems to be internal.
I installed a custom firmware on it (3.90 m33-2) and my battery was changed to a tool battery since i install custom firmware whenever someone asks me.
So the problem is that since its less than a year old it's still under warranty and if i want to use it, It has to be shipped back to Sony to be repaired along with the original battery...
I don't want Sony to know I installed a custom firmware or that i changed the battery into a tool battery or it would invalidate my warranty.
1- Will using desperatar del cimenterio to change the firmware back to the standard one good enough or are there stuff in the flash memory that sony could discover and invalidate my warranty?
2- Returning the battery to a normal one using the pandora battery program and loading back the original serial in the battery, is it good enough or is there something again that could give me away?
If you don't know what I'm asking don't worry about it, if you do know thank you for taking the time to answer!
4 AnswersPlayStation1 decade agoQuel français a décidé de rebaptiser "Beijing" en "Pékin"
Il me semble que la prononciation correcte en de la ville en mandarin soit Beijing... Rebaptiser une ville...quelle idiotie.
Qui en a changé le nom en français et à quelle fin?
6 AnswersHistoire1 decade agoHow many black ancestors do you need to be black in the United States?
With the American election coming everyone turns to Obama and his origins. I live in Canada, here Obama would be called a Métis meaning that he's of mixed origins. From what i hear in the States, he's a black guy.
So basically my question is are you black as soon as one of your 2 parents is black?
If yes what if one is of Asian decent let's say an the other is black, are you considered black still?
What if you grandfather was black and the rest of your family is white, are you black?
Do you guys have a term to qualify an individual of mixed origins?
How do you guys trace the racial line? Is everything black and white in the states or do you have shades of gray?
Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer this.
