Can other people see what I view/download on my wiresless network? Especially since me and 2 other roommates are sharing a wiresless network. Can they see?

if its unsecure, not the average person but its possible. just secure the router and give your 2 buddies the key and you won't have to worry

Your wireless network is not secure unless you secure it. Your wireless router can be set up to encrypt communications between itself and authorized users; it will compute a key from a password phrase that is then entered into all of the wirelessly-connected computers.

If they know how, yes. All you need is a Packet sniffing software and the network key.

They can't see it just because they are connected, but if you have no encryption, anyone really wanting to can watch all your traffic. If you use encryption your traffic can't be read.
