Is it true that P2P softwares like Limewire, ares, utorrent, kazaa, Vuze etc are capable of leeching more internet bandwidth than a pc is supposed to get?
If yes is there any way to counter it?
If not is there any way to get a greater share of bandwidth?
Because whenever a guy at our hostel starts downloading stuff my speed drops from 45 KBps to 0.4-3 KBps that too even if I and him are the only 2 guys are connected to the Wifi network.
As for the Technical Specifications :-
Our hostel connection is Tata Indicom Unlimited 384 Kbps connection on a Netgear Wifi router. I am not sure of the model number but it looks like the Netgear WGR614 router.
I am running XP SP2 with FDM as my download manager and I download via http from rapidshare. My wifi card is Intel 2200BG (802.11 b/g) and "g" is set as my preferred band.
From what I know, that guy is using Vista Premium and has a laptop with a 802.11 n wifi card.
Having a limited networking knowledge I assume I might have terrible basic concepts and must have made some of you laugh. If that is the case, please feel free to correct me.
Thank you.
