Hey Guys I'm looking for a wireless modem router that has a true ADSL QOS that I can set up to either IP or data type.

My new flat mate seems to think its a great idea to torrent/download stuff when everyone is home rather then at night when people are asleep. We only have adsl1 connection so we don't have a boat load of bandwidth.

I want to shape/restrict that specific data - If I could set a time frame that would be tops as It would only be from 5pm-10pm to restrict data.

Any help would be great.

Rather than just implement QoS on your network why not put a proper traffic shaper in place?

Grab yourself an Alix 2D3 from Nicegar and stick pfSense on it. Bad-ass router with all the features under the sun! As well as a full on traffic shaper.
It isn't simple to set up but will make a hell of a lot more difference than just putting QoS in place.
