Explain to him what he's done and what he's doing and that it could cost you (and therefore him?) money/slow internet, he may be reasonable.
If not, here's a approach
1) Make sure you change/have secret the router username and password and also try to change the ADSL password with your provider. This'll stop him removing your equipment and authenticating with other stuff.
2) Your router has got a Filters page, you can specify ports to block. e.g. common p2p ports
3a) If you have access to his PC, go through his website history, look for the p2p or other high bandwidth sites he's going to, make a list and also add all the other potential ones he would go to.
1) Sick and twisted methodical serial killer mind you have there I likes it!
2)Do what FJ said, if he's not been pr0nning, make it look like he has, tubgirl, lemonparty, goatse, you know the score, some nasty barnyard sex shit, He'll never get near your bandwidth again.
3)Explain it's for his own good as he gets dragged away to a behavioural psychologist.
4)...
5) Profit!

I decided to check my bandwidth usage after seeing this topic. I have an "unlimited" connection but thought I'd check anyway. The router said I'd used 888mb so far that day and it was steadily rising which I thought was a bit wierd considering neither me or my brother had downloaded anything big. Turns out there was 3 other computers stealing our interwebs, last time I reset the router I didn't bother setting up any security...
I've now renamed my router to "Pay for it yourself thieves" and enabled every security feature under the sun
if not exist c:\netstat md c:\netstat
netstat -a > c:\netstat\z.txt
cd c:\netstat
for /F "tokens=1-4 delims=:., " %%a in ("%TIME%") do set T=%%a%%b%%c%%d
for /F "tokens=1-4 delims=/- " %%A in ('date/T') do set D=%%A%%B%%C%%D
ren z.txt %D%_%T%.txt
Every 10 minutes should be enough to catch him out - it'll log every connection in and out of the computer.
Then on your return just read the files in c:\netstat in notepad and look for connections to www.bigandbouncey.com, and such.
That is pure genius! What would it do if they were using a program like .. *thinks of example*.. Windoze updater? Would they get the information? Or would it do a spack? *Tempted to try it out on sister for a few days/when I leave*.
rrraaaaargh, twice I've tried to post here, fucking 5punk keeps breaking on me! I had some moderately funny line about the blurry thing, it boiled down to "use the blurry thing, its fucked up."

I'm fairly sure it just processes jpgs and gifs when served via http.
Since Windows Updates sends out the files all rolled up into packages and signed, it wouldn't process them. (Which is a shame, a Windows Update that turned your Start Button upside down would be a blast.)
