Today, I tried to download some network-monitoring software for the office as I suspect that one of my staff has been constantly downloading torrents. It wouldn't download because someone was using all the bandwidth. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, discovered that all the viruses I have gotten on my computer at work haven't been from anything I've done, but because my boss has secretly been using it after hours to download or watch porn so he wouldn't risk getting a virus on his own computer. I've lost 3 major projects due to this. FML
Today, I was on a conference call and digital meeting at work when I got bored and started surfing the Internet. Little did I know that my desktop was being shared. My boss was on the call and saw everything. FML
Today, I let my friend use my computer to download some music. Now, my computer has 6 viruses and 4 songs, all of which I hate. FML
Today, as always, my boss is too cheap to buy more than 2 profiles for a critical software. Six employees compete in a daily thunderdome to log on and do their work before getting kicked off and losing everything. FML
Today, I increased my internet plan to help speed up downloading a giant 600GB file. After paying for the upgrade, I got a notification that the plan change wouldn’t be effected until 24 hours later. Of course, it actually upgraded mere moments after the file download had already completed. FML
Today, I heard a student in the class I assist having trouble with a download. I walked over and showed him how to save to his flash drive, and how to use 7z to unzip said file. I then found out I'd just assisted him in downloading a half gig of porn during class. FML
Today, I got two viruses on my laptop. One was a fake anti-spyware program that cluttered the screen with pop-ups. The other opened the browser repeatedly, each time to a generic porn site. This all conveniently happened at work, on a projector and during a meeting. FML
Today, we spent an entire day without being able to do work because our internet connection was down. Turns out, only the router had crashed and nobody bothered to reset it "to avoid doing further damage". FML
Today, my dad got a warning from our ISP for going well over their fair usage limit. I barely use our wifi, and I keep telling him he should password-protect our router to stop people leeching our Internet. He's blaming me anyway, and says I'm grounded until January. FML
Today, my internet was so slow I couldn't even load an internet speed test to see how slow my internet was. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

At least when you do manage to download it you'll be able to find out who's doing it!

Once it downloads you'll find the culprit and now at least you know there will be many opportunities to find proof against them.

Why would you do that on a work computer? That's what your neighbor's wifi is for!

Fire them, fire them all.

You should have bought the software on discs and loaded it onto your network that way.

Well if someone is frustrated you then know who is downloading

what you need to do is, open each computer and remove the hard drives. weigh each one, and the one that weighs the most has the most data on it, probably filled up with movies and illegal stuff.

Lol, I hope you're joking!

I could sense the sarcasm in 45's comment... ----------> From way over here!

I thought so, too! I've dealt with so many idiots lately I was really hoping it was actually sarcasm. ;)

QoS on the router/switch. Block ports. Or just see which IP is using a lot more bandwidth than others. Multiple ways to do this without downloading any software.

QoS - yes but blocking ports - no. Torrents can work on any ports. Even if you block everything except port 80 there are some websites offering to download the torrent for you and send it to you through http just like a regular download from the internet. It's not that easy to block torrents if your workers are not complete IT noobs :P
