What kind of router are you using? Is it a basic adsl type (linksys, tp-link, dlink) or an enterprise solution (cisco, juniper)? If its the first, then as Lord Reed suggested, you have to police traffic by imposing bandwidth limits. You could assign sticky ip addresses to the mac addresses and then give each user different data caps using the router. Desktop apps like cc proxy tend to have better flexibility though. If you're using an enterprise router though, this should be no problem as you can create access lists to rate limit the popular ports/services.

You could try booting into linux with a liveCD or via vmware or virtualbox. Then you can attempt to check it. You could also try chkdsk /f on command.com

You can get from computer village for 1k, 1.2k tops. Using a hdd enclosure is ok; the sensitivity to failure has to do more with the type of drive than the fact that it was extracted from your laptop viz ide (pin type) is more resilient than sata (strip type). Anyway, there is hardly any difference between the packaged hdds and your home made one (comparing them pricewise also shows the same).
If you're feeling sexy though, you could shell out for a nas box and go 21st century cloud (gangnam) style. Chert c9mputers at toyin street have a couple...

No big deal in this: Don Trump's grandmother was Elizabeth Christ and his father was named Fred Christ Trump.
They were originally from Germany so no South American connection there.

The essential reason for the disparity in the qualifications lies in the original purposes the institutions were conceptualized for. The aim of a mono/polytechnic is to produce a 'technician' I.e. a highly skilled craftsman while that of a university is to produce a more rounded individual. That is why a mono/polytechnic emphasizes physical work (eg fitting, machining, welding etc for engineering) while a University focuses on giving an individual a rounded education (This is also apparent from the btech vs bsc conundrum). The idea is to prepare different types of people: The Engineer and the Technician, the Accountant and the bookkeeper, the Doctor and the nurse.
