NTL Download query

Beats

I know I have 30 gb download cap, but how do I check how much we've used ?

Sweet !

MickFarr

You need something like DUMeter which will keep a track of how much you download and upload.

NTL don't enforce the 1GB a day cap so download as much as you want!

Infini

Someone else is buying them out so there is no chance of them bothering to enforce it for the moment.

Is it possible to limit programs download speed & upload speed with du meter?

MickFarr

No, it only shows you the stats. Very handy for checking that you don't go over the caps. December was spent mostly drinking.

I was testing there download policy to find out for other NTL user's if they enforced their caps. So far my research is going well and the results of my findings are

No it's not enforced

You would be a great test case for Smart's fair usage policy

Cheers for the link to DU Meter Mick. :cool: Have it up and working. What the hell are you downloading to post these impressive figures ? New to broadband at home so wondering what's out there ?

Mick - whatever about the download rates, but those upload rates are amazing, with 256 kbps upstream.

60.25 GB in February :eek:
For 256kbps the max possible upload for Feb is 77.41GB (= (256000*60*60*24*28)/8)

Netlimiter allows you to throttle individual applications. It does have some issues with zonealarm if you're running that, but if you're not then it's worth a try.

Mick: I was still a bit apprehensive about how much I was downloading (30-40GB per month), but after seeing your stats I'm a lot happier. Well done on the research, I hope you got funding!!

I'm sure there will be plenty of Smart user's testing the download/up limits.

From what I can see, Mick shares nearly as much as he downloads on bittorrent while smiley just leeches and put's nothing back into the community! ;(
