				| 
 |  
				| so i was playing dota and my sister was watching movie online. streaming site uses flash player and java. so i got big laggs in dota 2 ; my ping was 500 and packet lost was 50%. So what manages priority over internet connection and is there any way i can force dota to use all the connection or limit her pc to use 50% of the connection? also does it matter connection speed that i've set in steam settings? |  |

				| Without any major programs connected to the internet, run a ping test against google's server. You should not be experiencing that kind of packet loss. 
 Run command prompt (click run, type: CMD). In the command prompt window, type the following, then press enter:
 
 
 
 Let it run for a minute, then press Ctrl+C to terminate.
 
 If you truly are experiencing a 50% loss, you should contact your ISP.

 I have that problem only when my sister watches movie online. When  she doesn't watch them it is normal.

				| He's asking how he could limit the bandwidth that his sister uses when she streams movies. _________________

				| Yes, I realize that...but if his packet loss was severe, the other problems quickly become moot. 
 Regarding bandwidth control, some routers have integrated bandwidth limiting and priority options. Otherwise, I have read that some people have found success with software-based 'traffic shapers'.

				| Which ever PC asks for more will get priority. I have 5 other people in my house and 3 will watch netflix at once sometimes. + skype calls and spotify. It ads up. |  |
