Prioritized Internet Sharing for Home Users?

Posted by Cliff on from the bandwidth-preservation dept.

precursor asks: "Like many of you, I share a house with a couple of other geeks. This is normally a hoot - until it comes time for bandwidth sharing on a single cable modem (it's hard to play games with a bunch of torrent junkies). What solutions have other Slashdot readers implemented for sharing or limiting certain types of bandwidth on a home network? We are especially interested in solutions that we could implement on an aging PC or on hardware that can be purchased on a budget."
