What rougher are you using? On most you can set your priority in so just set your Xbox as top. That way it will always get first dibs on bandwidth.

Try and find out the ports that are used for torrents, and block them on the router!
Assuming these ports arnt needed for the xbox.

Only problem is, there isn't really a set port number for torrents, uPnP sets it, so you could turn that off. And failing that then most torrent clients just randomly assign a port number for torrents. And Spotify, I'm baffled as to how to block that, experimented blocking it with ISA Server, but it just seems it keeps on working, no matter what settings you have.

NetLimiter dude.
It's a clever program where you can limit upload and download on certain programs or on the whole PC.
I have it installed on my dads PC cause when he goes on YouTube he lags me a lot.
If you want I can find you a good Torrent link to download it
This is what it looks like:
As you can see you can enter vaules for certain programs or for everything.
Also tells you how much you download and upload.

It's a sagem router.
Aly problem is it's her computer and I can't touch it, any other way?
Good idea about changing the router key. Does xbox use upnp?

I think so, but it's not hard to manually forward the ports for it if you disable it.
Xbox LIVE requires the following ports to be open:
* TCP 80
* UDP 88
* UDP 3074
* TCP 3074
* UDP 53
* TCP 53
Straight from MS, but you can probably pass on Port 80 and Port 53 normally doesn't open cause the router auto-reserves it for DNS
