I have the same issue at home, except I'm the one who is running bittorrent. As of right now, it is not perfect, but it has greatly improved since I started doing tweaks.
The first thing I did was install DD-WRT on the router. After that, I maxed the connection limit to 4096 and set the timeout to a low setting, like 5 minutes.
From there, I did some modifications to the QoS settings. If a wired connection is used, set his connection to the lowest priority, and the rest to the top priority.
This is not perfect, so I'm still tweaking things to obtain a better outcome. The other suggestion is to tell him to use the scheduler feature found in the bittorrent client; a little bit of downtime at peak times goes a long way to keep harmony at home.

Rollover GB? Yea, yea, I know that's kinda farfetched, but one can dream.....

I'll probably buy a Blu-Ray player when Sony decides to start selling anime in hi-def in Region 1. It's already in Japan, so why not elsewhere?
