If he complains when you are just using ordinary Myth, then you *definitely* 
have some kind of configuration problem, non-Myth related. I have a somewhat 
similar configuration, with an on-line gaming son, and he never notices the myth 
usage, and we don't notice him on-line. On my bandwidth stats myth barely raises 
a bump in the graph. My hardware isn't the expensive kind, either, just a £30 
100Mb switch.
