What is the god awful smell that's always lingering around near the area between the common room and canteen, close to the pay per hour parking area? It's horrendous and it's there every single day

I was 7. and i'm a first year! :P I remember 94' was the year 'the most beautiful girl in the world' was released and prince had a new fan for life. I used to drive my parents mad singing it in the back of the car. We'd a pretty good summer that year too if I remember correctly, an ever better one in 1995.. ah I remember a lot of useless stuff about the 90's..

Loads of computer geeks here right?... :P

If I have a usage limit of 500GB on my internet how much would three people have to download/surf/stream etc. to reach that limit per month? I'm thinking an awful lot

Like say if I downloaded 8 seasons of a TV show (75GB according to my calculations)...

I'm just trying to make sure that I don't accidently build up a huge bill and have my landlord and housemates kill me!

Would it just be the file size downloaded that counts toward the limit. I won't be uploading or seeding anything

500gb should be ok for 3 people, just download in standard def, space them out a bit and don't continuously downloading! Some providers will give ye a link to your account usage (usually a chart of some sort) so you can monitor the usage, make sure ye don't go over and spot any huge usages over the month (and find the culprit!). Most providers don't actually cut you off or charge you much extra when you go over the limit, they just severely cut the speed, so anything much other than Facebook and emails is nearly out of the question:)

And if I only download those and nothing else for the month (I'm not a huge downloader, only if I really want something and streaming gets stressful) will I be alright?

Does continuous downloading make a difference? Anything else that would make the usage go up?

When you say cut the speed would that be permanent and how much over would you have to be before they do anything?

Just wanna cover all my bases here!

Ah well if you're just downloading those and then a few thing intermittently over the month you should defo be grand:)

Continuous downloading doesn't make a difference, only a suggestion because it'll make it easier to keep track of!

Going from Digiweb(ugh) they cut the speed pretty soon after we went over the limit (40.****ing.gb.) and put it back to normal after the month expired (and the usage was reset). UPC didn't cut the speed too much but then it was only once or twice we went over, so it might just depend on the company.

500gb is a hell of a lot, you'll be grand! To quote an ISP-comparer blog, "In order to breach this 250Gb limit the broadband user would have to download round 1Gb every 3 hours for a whole month. "

Sorry I'm a worrier!

Oh, missed this, it'll just be the file size that counts towards + browsing, if you're not seeding or uploading huge files then that wont count, although bear in mind you'll be uploading a teeny bit to other people while torrenting (usually 2.5 - 6kb/sec AFAIK)

These biscuits are amazing. They're the best thing about France so far - proper buttery shortcake rounds, for less than a euro.
I will gain Homer-like proportions before I return, there is no doubt!

My friend Ellie just moved over to France to start a job as an English teaching assistant So if you ever want any info on the actual job (I assume it's pretty similar everywhere), I can get her to send you an email or whatever.

Library internet is soooo slooooow.

Ended up talking about Torchwood in our Geography module today. Random but awesome

Probably not the right place to ask this but ah well!

Does anyone know what equipment UPC collect after you've cancelled a contract with them? Like, do they just take the wireless router and cables or do they require the box screwed into the wall as well?
Had a student contract where I lived last year so left it running over summer and was told that all they needed to do was disconnect the signal when I cancelled, but now they want to collect the equipment or I'm going to be charged a whole lot of money for it. Total frustration!!
