What is happening is that when you're playing WoW, or doing anything on t'Internet for that matter, you are using potentially 100% of the connection bandwidth.
If you are connecting 2 PCs via a router, then when your brother tries to download Linux, he is getting what he needs bandwidth wise, and you are losing the potential bandwidth.
The only real workaround for this is to either get a faster connection, or wait until brother has finished his penguin worshipping, so you can have a lag-free experience.
Settle this in the mature fashion by playing NS against each other. Winner takes all. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

make him burn some of the isos he already has, then he has no excuse to download more.
Or: the limiting download thing making him pay for another connection somehow hacking his computer/network card installing a 56k modem in his computer and connecting to netzero, then covering/using all the open ports on your router.
then again the good ol NS tourney tends to solve things....in your favor.... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
