I'm using a Efficient Networks SpeedStream 5360 ADSL Ethernet Bridge (vulgo "DSL modem"), connected to a Linksys BEFSR41 (router), connected to the router is a couple of el cheapo hubs. Everything is working fine, the 'net is just zipping along (1.5 MB down, 128k up) until one user fires up Kazaa Lite. Now I already did limit the bandwidth available to that POS program, unchecked "work as supernode", limited the number of sim. up and downloads, unchecked "steal all bandwidth when computer is idle", and still, as soon as he fires the software up, all data transfer from and to other computers in the network slows down do a crawl.
Is there any way, besides the obvious (to vit, block kazaa) to improve that situation? Should I replace the hubs with switches? Or what?
