How much do you download?

Well, I have been with UTV Internet for a year now with ISDN and stick mainly with 1 64K Channel (7K/s normally) I have attached my download stats for the last 6 months? I have 180Hrs per month but I normally would not go beyond 100-120 hours and around 1Gb max. How do you compare?

Paul-UTVI · 24-12-2003 8:30pm

On Satellite broadband here as I'm too far away to get ADSL (first choice would be clicksilver of course)

Cheers

Paul with those numbers you would immediately be kicked off:D!

OfflerCrocGod · 24-12-2003 9:04pm

incubus what are you using to connect to the net:eek:?

Mutant_Fruit · 24-12-2003 9:33pm

I'd generally average about 16 gigs (combined) a month. But when i first got BB, i was transferring up to 60 a month (up and down) for first 2 months. :-)

andrew163 · 25-12-2003 12:29am

Stupid question but, what program are you using to measure the transfer?

hamster · 25-12-2003 12:32am

Andrew163,

It's called Dumeter. Another useful such tool would be logtime. Do a google...

You can also use netmeter which is free and does the same thing as dumeter

anyway afaik I we roughly get 220GB off of the 512k line I have access to

(or whatever the max for a 512K is)

elexes · 28-12-2003 10:17pm

think i dl about 4 gigs a month . it would dl more but my limit is 8 and cant find the stuff to intrest me

bricks · 29-12-2003 12:46am

Which satralite provider allows this?
I was under the impression that satalitte providers were very fussy about download limits.
Is it expensive?

joc_06 · 29-12-2003 1:04am

Ya please tell me - im new to satelite broadband - in fact i have all the gear but cant get the europeonline software to install so im looking for an alternative...

Please??

@ Joc - What OS are you running ? I had similar problems trying to get europeonline running on Win XP, in the end I went with netsystem
Netsystem started off uncapped and then they imposed a 6GB limit for existing users and I think a 3Gb one for new subscribers.

Got rid of them after a year due to their quality of service, throttling of P2P ports etc.
They would appear to have improved that though, although as you would imagine pings are quite big - so I wouldn't expect it to be good for gamers.

With UTV BB now, a whole lot better.

The satellite service I was referring to is a personal project - nothing to do with UTVI.

Oh right interesting

I was on about dr dre comment though. I would really like to get mine up and running, it been driving me mad for the last couple of weeks. Ive given up on europeonline and i would like to hear from other's out there - who would ye recommend??

Thanks again lads

Dr. Dre · 29-12-2003 5:27pm

Oops, didn't make it clear

I'm with UTV ADSL now, not satellite !

You could take a look around the forum on www.netsystemusers.com to see how happy people are with netsystems current setup, as i was saying I think their service has improved since I left them in October.

What resetting?
The connection? never noticed it dropping, well actually I have but thats due to there being no bandwidth so things like IRC often have connection issues during very high usage

Spunog UIE · 30-12-2003 2:24pm

sorry, meant the netmeter, resets everytime the comp restarts or connection.

You don't turn off your PC when you have BB alan

As I'm learning!

Spunog UIE · 08-01-2004 6:18pm

well i will be, seems a bit stupid. DU meter has a proper log. Doubt it would be hard for the netmeter people to do something similar.

Agreed, I have a PC turned on 24/7 downloading, I reboot it every 17+ days as it starts acting up (WindowsXP) and I haven't yet got the time to switch the box over to Linux

IrishMike · 20-01-2004 6:45pm

i use 100gigs + a month
my computer hasnt been turned off for more than a few minutes in months

Dont have dumeter but this is nice

raster · 20-01-2004 9:16pm

8GB, the IOLBB cap.

Just checked DUMeter, it must be counting network traffic also as it reads over 40GB combined this month, anyone else notice this?

Tivoli · 20-01-2004 9:28pm

in only have utv broadband a week but am downloading about 100m a day so far just playing unreal tournament for 2 hrs a day (pings @ >60

, some maps are over 7 meg, but they are saved in a cache so this will useage will drop.

i can never think of anything to download

my computer hasnt been turned off for more than a few minutes in months

did you try the silver colour for that desktop, i think its much nicer

raster there is an option in DUmeter for which network to monitor

Excellent, just found it, had been set at "all interfaces" so changed to relevant connection, thanks.

How much do you download?
