what internet activity causes torrent downloads to slow down?
i have a roomate that frequently downloads videos with torrents, and he complains that they are slowing down recently.

is it possible that me watching videos causes his torrents to become slow? what about online gaming? what activities on the internet i should avoid while his torrents are working?

thx in advance, will gift steam points for good answers

but how much is different activity affects the bandwidth? is online gaming the same as watching youtube?

Gaming is negligible. Youtube... depends on quality, of course. Higher quality is more bandwidth.

Still, why do YOU have to bother? Is your roommate the one paying for the internet?

You have a limited pipe and your router/switch also may place certain constraints on your experiences.

To actually make a determination requires more info than I think you're able to collect.

However, in general, the answer to a question like "can stuff I do using the same internet connection access possibly effect the quality or efficiency of the experience of others" the answer would be "Yes."

Note: You honestly can't compare one application and usage to another and then come up with a valid comparison without further data. You need hard numbers and test results. Can you get those? Probably not, else you would have already answered the question without any doubt. :)

PS: Torrenting relies on much more than just your bandwidth/speed. Since ISPs can selectively throttle protocols and/or with "load balancing" excuses or the connections serving that data may be under load/throttling/etc... It's just not going to be an activity that can have any sort of guaranteed experience results. Those peers could be anything, on any sort of weird connection, and since there's no money in it... or, if there is, it's likely illegal anyway... Well, when your roommate is sailing the high seas he's got to learn to deal with the weather.
