As I'm learning!

True, until you reach the cap!

IrishMike

cap ?
lol i aint got a cap

Chorus are great

CivilServant

I wish the computer was quieter though, then I would leave it on all the time. Its off the 8 hours for sleep everyday.

Giblet

Caps, pfft

phreak

haven't got du meter installed anymore but i average about 60/70 gigs a month... sometimes more.

when i'm on 56k i still get about 2 or 3...

AntiRip

I just have a 56k modem with utvXL. Am seriously thinking of getting BB though. Just a couple of questions

what is azureus that irishmiks is using? is it like p2p program?
They are some d/l speeds!! Me and my 5kb/sec

If lets say i went for eircom or utvsilver bb, if u went over the cap do they charge the 3c per mb they claim they have the right to do?

60 to 70 gig a month ! jesus crist what are you downloading iv downloaded 4.7 gigs since i got broadband 6 months ago

Señor Juárez

i got the eircom standard DSL line in around christmas. already topped 10 gigs, and that is with some restraint (due to fear of cap enforcement).

Mutant_Fruit

look at all those illegal downloads, i wonder if his ISP looks at these boards...

luckat

I turn off my computer at night; just don't unplug the broadband connection (wireless) from the wall.

Anyone know how to tell on a Mac how much I download?

Have you ever heard of Bittorrent?:D, 8GB in three days if it weren't for this crappy cap:mad:.

Tivoli

i have heard of bit torrent, but still dont download all that much, and most of it is saved too a folder on my hard drive and forgotten about

When I joined Netsource for the first few months I was downloading about 40-60 gigs a month. I got capped, and when I rang up the woman told me that I was the 3rd highest downloader in Ireland! (on netsource anyway...)

That's *easy* on 512. I could probably rack up 40GB in a week if I put my mind to it.

What is the theoretical max on 512 down in a month?

OfflerCrocGod

130GB; etho you would really afto WORK to get 40GB a week....that is nearly full blast 512kb all month long.
