So my computer is slowing down my dad's internet.
I honestly think my dad just overreacting but he seems to be almost sure my computer is causing it. It that even possible?
When I'm not running any torrents my computer seems to load pages fine and so does my brother's.

Any ideas?

If Goshis PC loads stuff fine I see the problem at your fathers end. That said, if you use Rainmeter load up any network meter and look if your PC has unusual incoming or outgoing network traffic for now.

Also Offtopic, but what is your avy from?^^

How is your computers connected to the internet?  Central router?

You can try to see if any background apps are stealing bandwidth - try installing something like Networx (bandwidth meter).
You can also try proving things by switching your computer off, and see if the internet gets faster.

RE: So my computer is slowing down my dad's internet.
My computer is directly connect to the modem whilst everyone else is connected wireless-ly.
Rainmeter shows 0B when my computer unless I am doing something on the internet myself so I'm not sure it's worth to bother checking Networx to be twice as sure.

Also my dad apparently proved it himself by that method that it is slowing down, though I wasn't watching what websites he was using or how he was testing it. Also I have used his computer's internet while mines was still on and I remember pages loaded fine for me. More of the reason for me to think that he's just overreacting.

Mine works fine unless Sparker is loading those torrents of his >_>

Unless of course I'm using this computer! The one I used to post this! The internet is on this is so ridiculously slow.

Slow in what way? DNS resolving or page loading up itself?
