HOW TO DISABLE DOWNLOADING ON MY PC

[rana_punjabi_sardar]

HI ALL! I am using broadband from BSNL 250/- plan which permits only 400MB of downloading and uploading. I have some friends who use my PC to browse the net. I have to told them frequently not to download any thing from net but they could not resist. Is there any software or tweaks by which they can browse the internet but can not downloading any thing without my prior permission.
In the wait of some quick and positive responses from ur side,
