You need complex network devices for such things. I suggest go talk to your house mates. If you're real kiasu, then try products like Untangle, PFSense or Smoothwall all free and very good quality software. These software can tell you all what not and limit usage or control certain traffic like Torrent.
This is how your connection is today
You
Friend 1 -----> Your modem/firewall ----> Internet
Friend 2
When you implement a mediator device as mentioned above, this is how it will look
You
Friend 1 -----> [Security device] -----> Modem/Firewall -----> Internet
Friend 2
This security device can be an old PC with 2 network cards minimum.
You can setup some of these software to be transparent, i.e. inline without modifying anything on the configuration that you have now.
