OR you could forge small window sizes - with a utility like tcpnice from Dug
Song in the dsniff package

I want to be able to throttle my roommate's traffic, period. He likes to
download CDs at a time, and when he does my ping in Quake is
horrible. This, after a day of school and work, understandibly pisses me
off. He's cool with the throttling idea, but I just have to figure out a
reasonable way to do it. I have a 486 DX/2 with Red Hat 7.0 + updates
already on it, ready to be turned into a firewall. That might be the best
option.

Or, I could just yank his ethernet cord out of our hub *grin*.
