I share an internet connection with several other people. This means that if one person is downloading a heavy amount, the rest suffer from basically unusably slow internet speeds. As it stands currently, short of going around the house and asking each person individually if they are the one "hogging all of the bandwidth", the best way of seeing who's doing it is checking on the router.
My router has a small screen on the front that lists all the devices connected to it, and how much data each device is using. This is useful, but it's on the other floor and a hassle to go downstairs to look at every time I feel like the net is being throttled.
My question is simply, is there a software solution? Is there a program I can install on my own computer that can see where all the bandwith of my connection is going, similar to what I described on the front of my router? This would allow me to see who's hogging the bandwidth and therefore more efficiently address their evil wrongdoing.
