Any decent router would let you do it on a per IP basis.
If you want to show off, and your router is capable of doing it, flash its firmware with RouterTech - http://www.routertech.org/ and search the forums there to find out about the "rshaper" module. Be aware - flashing your router can potentially kill it so if in doubt, don't.

leftyguitarjoe,
You might also let her know that the technical community does not recommend the use of P2P programs. Due to they are a breading ground for malware. Using P2P programs to download music severely increases the chances of infection. Not only that the cost of purchasing music is extremely inexpensive. Also in your router you can block the Port that the P2P program uses. You might find more information on what that port is by researching on their website.

Filtering P2P applications on a per-port basis is not possible, considering most of them spread themselves out over multiple ports, and if all else fails they will fall back to port 80 by default. You block port 80 on your router or software firewall and there will be no normal internet traffic through your web browser.
No a better solution is either my previous post if you have a router that's RouterTech capable, or simply kick your sister off the internet altogether.
