Creating a lot of bandwidth use

So my sister has this thing hooked up here (my dad's idea) that lets you watch tv through the internet (http://www.myhava.com/). It hooks up to your cable box and your internet and you can access it anywhere with an internet connection and from a computer that has the program. I'm not trying to advertise it, I'm just trying to give some background info on it. The thing is, though, it sucks our bandwidth. Getting to the page to post this took a good 30sec to a min just for this to load. Now, I want to play halo, but I can't at all while she watches, and she always bitches when I turn it off.

Is there any way I could create a lot of internet use, enough to suck all the bandwidth away from that, making her end laggy, and therefore, making her not want to use it? Thanks.

Edit: So I started 2 popular torrents and opened around 50 or so myspace tabs. It stopped working. *win*

Ahah good job I hate having bandwidth wars with my brother. I have a similar program but it doesn't lag the crap out of us.

Yes it does, but my dad's tech savvy so he'd find out soon enough.

Edit: Lol, I think I broke it. My downloads aren't even going and she can't access it on her end. Yay! Hahahah.

Lol Kow, you win 1000 internets. If I were you I'd just steal her computer's power cable when she's asleep though :)

I guarantee that somebody made a software for this already.. did you try to run like 30 bandwidth tests at the same time? If you try this.. make sure you say your connection is extremely fast so it tries to download a gig file. Also, is this the same sister with the vibrator chair? (or was that somebody else?)

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
