So how can I limit her connection speed? By the way, I have a router and she has wireless connection, my computer is the main/domain.
EDIT: sorry people, it is KB/sec, not MB/sec

If she connects by wireless then in effect she is already limited. Wireless G speeds max at 54 Mbps.
But I believe you are really speaking of two different things. The numbers you and I are both speaking of are speed. You are looking to limit band width.
Regarding Quality of Service. It may work but to the best of my knowledge the program(s) need to be QoS aware for that to show any benefits.
Hopefully CaveDweller2 will see this and correct me if I am wrong.

What router do you have? make, model and revision.
If your router can do it QoS might get you want you want. But to truly get what it is you are after you need either an old PC with 2 network cards to act as your router, some serious software or a router that has the capability built into it.
If your router doesn't have QoS or the function in it to do this you might find a 3rd party firmware that will. DD-WRT has TONS of firmware versions for all kinds of routers that add different functionality and OpenWrt is another.
Now if she is clueless, when you want to use the net just turn on MAC filtering on the router's wireless and don't enter her MAC address. When you're done disable it and let her know it should work. lol
And ThunderZ gives me too much credit lol =)

Which D-Link model do you own? Several have limited QoS functionality.

Here is a link to the router and you'll want to click on the last "tab" Support Resources. The link to see how to find the revision wouldn't work for me, if it does for you then you'll know how. Normally its on the bottom of the router on a sticker. But its in like micro print lol.
The MAC address thing will shut off her access lol. But you can just disable it when you are done with your web use hehe.

Page 37 shows the QoS Engine.
It doesn't look like the DIR-615 RevB can do QoS the way you'd like it to.

You can try Netlimiter, but for your needs I'd part with $55USD and get the Linksys WRT54GL. This one can be flashed with DD-WRT or OpenWRT firmware which can both provide huge functionality gains.
