Which app is stealing my internet

My little brother has come home, having installed lots of third party software - much of which I have never heard of....

Now every time he turns his MacBook Pro's Wifi on and joins our network, the internet grinds to a halt for every other user - Our Time Capsule's light goes mental. (It's not backing up!!)

Is there an APP or piece of software I can run on the Mac to see what APP/service is using the internet bandwidth?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Little Snitch, but it can cause issues, so its best to uninstall it after you fix the problem.

Thank you.

After further googling, I used RubberNet to identify that it was my update to the Lion operating system, using iCloud PhotoStream was uploading my last 1000 photos to the cloud.

I have since turned off PhotoStream's automatic uploading preference, and found that the internet is working.
