how can i controll the bandwidth usage of individual computers in my home network?
ok. we have 1 10mb connection that we have dispersed between 2 routers, with 3 computers on each router, 1 of wich on each router is connected via Wi-fi. someone refuses to acknowledge that their constant torrenting is causing everyone else on this network a significant drop in performance and speed because "it works fine" for them. so. question is, how can i allocate and manage bandwidth so that that person can download all the crap they want and everyone else can use the rest of the connection at relatively decent speed?

You can manage this with some routers, otherwise use software or pc settings to do this. Eg - http://bandwidthcontroller.com/ and http://www.netlimiter.com/buy.php : a chargeable software.
Post details of the routers too, as you may have one that is configurable. Otherwise, if your router is not configurable, it could be worthwhile to replace the model that you have.
The following info on Windows XP setting up of static IP addresses may come in handy, if you configure this way too:
