Have you checked that he hasn't set the router up to restrict band width to all machines other than his own? We had to do this at University as a house mate was constantly torrenting porn and rendering the network unusable...

this, but out of 10 people I gave myself a dedicated 50% bandwith
because everyone else in the building only checks their emails and I'm allowed preferential traffic for helping my landlady with stuff, haha.

This wasn't just a bit of porn. It was any porn he could find.
He showed me a clip once involving a woman in a swing and some frogs. Strange lad really.
