The reason why you have to reset is because your brother is taking up ALL the bandwidth. You resetting the router "fixes" the problem because it disconnects your brother from all the other seeds/leechers he's downloading from and it takes a few mins to reconnect/find new seeder on the trackers.
There is nothing you can do unless you ask your brother to set a uploading/downloading speed limit on his torrent client (this may vary depending on how fast your internet is).
He can also schedule his torrents to download say...only when everyone is sleeping (after 11pm) or during the day when everyone's at work.
There are more advanced routers out there that allow you to allocate bandwidth to different computers, but those are business class routers and usually costs a lot.
