When you say lagging it up, are you attempting to play online games?

I've no idea how you could mess with his machine over a LAN, but quickly pulling his network cable in and out might do the trick :D

Seriously, you two should negotiate. Father and son tingy. Perhaps he could do all his downloads overnight?
 
Simple - if you have a 512mb connection, go to 1Mb :)

Seriously, umm, i dunno - disable his internet
 
yep i WOULD pull out his internet cable but its a wirless LAN! :O lol so im boned there as 4 gettin him 2 download at night, thats when i play games (and his downloading uses SO much bandwith msn doesnt work either). cant u type summin along the lines of "shutdown -m \\computername" cuz thats wot the cmd is tellin me to do, but it aint working :(
 
Dunno. Try it. I ain't getting into this, I'm not causing no family squabbles ;)

If you play games at night, get him to start his downloads before he goes out for the day, and just download during the day.

You two have to talk and come to a fair compromise. I suppose his argument will be 'I'm paying for it' which you probably don't have an answer for, but fair's fair, a little sharesy wouldn't go amiss.
 
Funnily enough, I've got the same problem here, I'm playing games online when suddenly my ping rate goes sky high. Reason - daughter downloading stuff via Win MX. So we usually work something out.

Strange old world, innit? :D
 
Strangely enough, when i have about 20 download pagey things in my taskbar i get yelled at

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO THE INTERNET ITS BEING HORRIFICALY SLOW STOP DOWNLAODING"

its not me mum hehe
 
yep i really dont have a replay 4 the "im payin 4 it one" but ill just say "grrrr" and walk off, n he just donwloads stuff all the time n i wana play games or msn all the time lmao. i got the hang of restarting or loggin my comp off lol but i need 2 do it 2 his :@, im sure enough messin wid the cmd will do it lol
