[QUOTE=Sickle;23061257]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.[/QUOTE] I don't have a attic.

Yeah, the people that point out the fact that he's paying for the internet are absolutely right. Once you have your own computer and pay for your own internet, then you can do whatever you want. Orrrrr, you can be a jackass, and report your dad. Have him go to prison, and then you can play all the TF2 you want. (that is, until the internet bill comes with no way to pay for it)

Even if the dad pays for the internet, he can still ask politely. Seriously, just tell him why it messes with your games, I'm sure he'll at least consider it.

router settings

Report him to the police, you go to an orphanage, fast TF2 speeds for you.

"[i]Can ya stop downloadin' crap while I play games?[/i]"

Not much you can do other than pause the download when he's not looking and hope he doesn't notice

Forge a DMCA notice and stick it in your mailbox

[QUOTE=thecubanpimp;23060729]realize that he pays for your conection[/QUOTE] brilliant.

Explain to him, politely (politely meaning brandish a large kitchen knife and hold it to an extremitie), that it messes up your games and movie torrents are illegal. Tell him the FBI is cracking down, and he could be arrested. The FBI thing is true.

You could somehow limit the speed, or if you have the router, you could secretly unplug his connection. thats kinda mean though :(

There is really 3 ways you could go about this. 1)Deal with it 2)Ask him politely if he will stop 3)I believe there are programs available that can set how much net usage a person gets. I would agree that he does pay for the connection but I know for a fact the majority of you would be bitching if your net was terrible.

Just limit the upload speed to 1kb/s. He won't notice this or care about it, and it'll improve your games drastically.

how about you piss off and let him do what he likes with the connection he pays for

Tell him to get netflix or something

Figure out how to block all incoming connections on his computer in a way that he won't easily be able to remove.

It's not useless stuff if he watches these movies. You're not the only one in your house, and not the only one allowed to use the internet.

How about, not ruining your relationship with a loved one. Why don't you and your father go on a trip or something. Perhaps Six Flags, Hershey Park etc.

Set the priority of the downloads to low.

I agree completely with you. You should be able to tell your father how he gets to use his internet connection.

25 a week , daym ,i like watch 3-5 movies a month , i dont watch em often but man do i get a kick from watching action films ,crappy teen love comedies (like that youth in revolt)and from time to time i watch some horror films but most of em suck , man they dont make em as they used to its like the opposite for me , i download games and my dad complains about crappy internet speed

Call the Government. Then he'll stop.

I don't get what the fuck is wrong with all of you. He said his Mom is paying for it anyways, and there's a fine line between downloading something on his connection and taking up the family connection so much that they can't even load basic web pages, and then you tell the guy to fuck off about it. Anyways, it depends on how your Dad is. Is he at all reasonable and willing to negotiate with you on the subject? Also depends on you, I would ask if you download anything on your own volition, but you can't really effectively answer that. If you don't, I'd say talk to him sincerely about how it's affecting your connection and the "DANGERS OF PIRACY" BOOOOOO! Sorry about that, but do something of the sort while avoiding statements he can give logical argument to or statements that make you a hypocrite so he doesn't just yell "Shut up you little hypocritical shit!" Or something to the effect.

I thought that The Pirate Bay was tracked by the police and stuff :ninja:

Buy your own internet connection if you want lagg-less games, other then that man up or shut up.

Why beat around the bush? Just ask him if he can kindly start all downloads at night, when no one is on the internet. Tell him he can download them on your account as well, so when you're not playing multiplayer games, you can start it up. My dad used to do this, and he accepted. True, some days he'd seriously want to watch a movie so I'd just not play multiplayer games, but oh well. Your dad sounds like a cunt though. He rages into your room and calls you a stupid shit and an idiot?
