I'll try some of the things you mentioned here thanks for the input! My wife downloads stuff on her w7 laptop with just slowing down traffic on other wifi. and I have an ubuntu desktop with wifi as well but that doesn't do the same as the netbook.
I was able to use torrent without conflicting other kits by reduccing the upload (and download speed). I'd really like to know if you could cap the wifi speed for everything Thanks again!

Yes, there are times, particularly weekend afternoons and last day of school hols. when I see a traffic problem. In my case, it has never stopped any of the computers on my network, just slowed down to snail like pace. I put it down to kids getting music tracks and videos.
