    Here, what's the address to measure the amount you've downloaded? Or how do you do it?

    holy CRAP, and I thought I was a rebel with the 23GB I downloaded one month :eek:


    My GOD. What the HELL could you download? 2 months and my heard drive is filled beyond capacity FFS! Jesus mother of...

    Is it possible to download 100GB a month with 512k? you'd need the bastid to be going 24/7...


    I Just download 4x eps of Bleach, each 170MB(ish), in under an hour. For CHRIST sake, my download cap is just being gobbled up by this line. And now that the stats page isn't even working I can't check! I generaly doubled my 8GB cap each month, and didn't get charged, but with the implimentation of this 2mb, I dunno, gotta stave from the uber-downloadage for awhile and see how the bills come through. I'll let the more courageous(and by that I mean the more finacialy secure) people do the limit testing...

    Not gonna go into detail on what i download to hit these totals, but its not that hard really. I grabbed the first 20 episodes of Lost earlier today for example. thats 7.5 gigs straight up, couple that with lots of other episodes 24, scrubs, simpsons, etc and you would easily hit massive totals. Thats not counting all the other stuff that i shouldnt go into ;)

    Youve downloaded at least 7.5GBytes today!!!!!!!!!!!

    Holy SH!T!

    Ive spent the last 2 days getting Suse Linux DVD v9.3 from a torrent site(very slow I know!) with my 2mbit line and Im getting scared that I could go a little crazy this month.

    Personially speaking I will probable be closer to 30GBytes than 24GBytes by the end of the month......but downloading 7.5GBytes(at least) in a single day!!!......thats the suggested daily limit of 10 BT users on the Plus package FFS!!!!

    I couldnt care honestly how much you download....but imagine if your ISP starts asking questions about Piracy/Copyright????
