Equal bandwidth in a shared BSNL connection

M

Mr. @55

I am using BSNL 500 C plan with UTR300R2U modem. This connection is shared by me and another friend. I am connected via LAN and he is connected via USB. My friend downloads movies using torrents (Vuze) and I dwnld games and s/w.

The problem is that he gets very large no. of seeders/leachers and thus he is getting speed of 120-130 whereas I am getting 2-3 (thats true :( ) . I want to know if there is any s/w or tweaks to ensure that both the PCs get equal bandwidth. I am having this problem since the last month or so.

Any help from the network gurus will be appreciated.
 
Have you configured "port forwarding" properly on "your" client/connection?

Check your modem page and forward ports on your IP/application. For eg:utorrent.exe, bitorrent.exe

You need to do that in order to get good connections on BT or whichever client.

None of us are using Port Forwarding. Previously when I was using connection all by myself I was getting consistent good speeds. So I dont think that is the solution.

I tried PF a couple of times some time back. Not much difference in speed. And on both occasion I got some prob connecting to the net the next time I logged on.

Any other solution. PLS HELP !
 
Ask you friend to set a max ul/dl speed in his torrent client which is half of your total bandwidth. So even if he is downloading a heavily seeded torrent he'll use only half the total bandwidth.
 
It would be possible by using QoS to allot priority to one IP. However, I doubt that this feature would be there in the modem you mentioned. If you are willing to invest some money in buying new devices, then , it could be done easily.

You'd need a wifi router/or any similar smart device capable of running 3rd party firmware. You can then share the connection by connecting to the wifi. At my place I use old linux box to apply traffic shaping policy so that all PCs get fair bandwidth.
