Anyone know how heavily Slingshot shapes traffic?

Long story short, P2P seems to be causing issues. In our flat of 17 or so people, we have one flatmate that seems to be torrenting, or at least has an absolutely insane amount of outbound traffic. Like clockwork, whenever he comes back and turns on his computer, many of us disconnect from IRC, games, Skype, etc. Web browsing remains fine, but anything that operates in real-time basically fails.We finally talked the flatmate into disconnecting their system temporarily to show that it was the issue. Unfortunately, we're still having difficulty connecting to anything. Does anyone know if Slingshot's traffic shaping basically detects P2P usage, and then throttles the entire connection for a set amount of time? Thanks!
