Facepunch, how do I confront my dad and tell him to stop downloading useless stuff? - General

Facepunch, in the past 2 months my dad has been downloading a bunch of movies off pirate bay.[B](note: I do not proceed in watching these movies or telling him to download any)[/B] This usually is not a problem because he used to only download 1 or 2 every week. Now he proceeds to download over 25 a week. 5 at a time, and they last a while. Most carry over into next week and stack on to that. This drastically affects me playing any multiplayer game(high ping) and it affects Team Fortress 2 the most, I can not even launch a server without losing connection to it. So half the time I am playing by myself on Garry's mod or a singleplayer game. It also makes the Internet slow. By this I can barely load any sites. The only ones I can get on right now seems to be youtube(bufferland right now), Facepunch(decent speed) and some blogs. Other sites are way too slow or are just now working for me. I tried stopping all the downloads at once but leaving one on, as this makes that one download faster but stops the other ones. It also helped me play multiplayer games. I got away with this for a while but my dad came in my room raging about how I was a piece of shit, and a idiot. This was yesterday. 5 torrents are going on right now, 10 are queued. Most of the movies he is downloading I never heard of. These movies sound like shit. He watches each one one time then deletes it, so all in all it makes me pissed. He could just go out and buy them. Facepunch what do I do? [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Talk to your dad" - SteveUK))[/highlight]

stop being a little bitch and let him watch his movies

Like this. "Dad I am confronting you and hereby tell you to stop downloading useless stuff".

I usually just say: "Turn the torrent off" then its off.

LOL. Tell him to get Netflix, or call your ISP and tip them to warn your dad. That'll make him stop. Or you could convince him to upgrade your router for a stronger connections to everyone.

"Dad, stop downloading useless stuff"

Get one of your mates to dress up as the FBI and arrest him.

Tell him that you need to use the internet aswell.

Lie, tell him that you have had a warning from the police saying that they have noted your IP downloading movies. Scare tactics usually work.

Ask him to download at night / do [url]http://www.solidblogger.com/utorrent-seed-download-time-schedule/[/url]

Tell him to cut it out and how it can fuck up the computer (while i don't think it can just do it anyway).

[QUOTE=Monkey pie;23060666]I usually just say: "Turn the torrent off" then its off.[/QUOTE] My dad is not that easy. I even asked him to torrent only at night but this failed too, if I have to install a huge game on steam like Grand Theft Auto IV I do it at night, then he should to.

im serious i dont think you pay for the internet connection its his he can do what he wants with it

realize that he pays for your conection

Same thing happens to me, but lucky for me my father is understanding and if I confront him and get pissy at him for slow speed he turns it off and usually just puts it on over night when I'm sleeping. A win win.

Suck it up, its his internet hes paying for it.

25 a week? holy crap, anyway, cant you just pause the torrents that are downloading, that should help, the just press play when you are done, or just go up to him and say "holy crap dad, stop downloading all this shit"

If he's being a stubborn cunt, you should be a stubborn cunt. When he says why are you being a stubborn cunt say it's because you're being a stubborn cunt. Either you'll bend over and take it or he'll stop being a stubborn cunt.

Why torrent we you can stream? [url]http://www.watch-movies-online.tv/[/url] or [url]http://www.movies-links.tv/index.html[/url] LOL [img]http://www.movies-links.tv/SiteSeizedNOTICE.JPG[/img]

Just tell him to limit his download speed to 75% of your connection, then you will not lag when playing games.

Lets make 1 thing clear ? Who is paying the internet bills ? you or your dad ? let em download his movies, but just tell em to download them in the morning or something, so he can watch them while you are gaming, without the lagg

Tell him its illegal and that you'll tell the cops if he doesn't take it down a notch

If your dad is using a different computer, log onto your router and block his MAC address.

[img]http://www.beadstyle.ch/catalog/images/werkzeug_seitenschneider.jpg[/img] Confront him with this.

Walk into his room non-chalantly and slowly walk up to him. Peek over his shoulder and take a look at his torrents. If it's one of those torrents that says something like "[103931.32]{SKULL EDITION}" then tap him on the shoulder and pretend to[I] just[/I] notice it. Proceed to draw your face up to the screen and widen your mouth. Slowly move his hand out of the way of the mouse and mutter, 'Dad... Dad we have to get the hell out of here...' if he questions you, jab your finger underneath his jaw and bring your face close to his and say forcefully; 'Do you realize what you have done?' If he tried to butt you out of the way and explain it's a simple torrent, push his chair over and grab him by the throat and shout; 'THE ENTIRE FUCKING ENCLAVE IS GOING TO BE ON OUR ASS, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR YOUR PETTY RAMBLING!' slam his head onto the floor and then lift him back to his feet. Drag him by the hand dramatically to the kitchen and equip a whisk, stare him dead in the eyes and say softly; 'War... War never changes.' And then smack him over the head with the whisk until he is unconscious. Go to the computer and open it and turn the RAM sticks upside down and remove a few. Trash your house and take the fittings off of the lights. Splat a few drops of maroon paint onto the walls and smash the dry wall. Turn off all the lights except for the ones without the light fittings and empty a few magazines of used ammo onto the floor. Use a lighter to put burn marks everywhere and grab a radio. Tune into a random radio station and then remove the batteries. Use a CD player to play 'I don't wanna set the world on fire', and burn some parts of your dad's clothes. Take a screwdriver and mark bulletholes everywhere. When he wakes up tell him that 'They came and destroyed everything, the noise... I couldn't take it and the pistol is in the attic.' and then drag him to the computer and show him how fucked up it is. Tell him you need to set out basic supplies for survival and camp the rest of the night out. That's sure to fuck with him.
