    well when i *had* and soon to have (hopefully with Netsource)
    i downloaded 75% of the time *

    Shame, i hadnt really used the net as much before i got it (only 233mhz pc til that xmas before then upped to 1gig) so was only beginning to start to use it again after about a years drought.

    I had the eircom trial and scammed them *BLIND* after a few months, but the HD size restricted me (only 10gig) so i had to burn most things onto CD.

    From about April (started eircom trial in febuary) Downloading all day and night (kazza and a private 1337 leeching network i became a member of) and straight onto Cd :)

    Trial ended last november and back to 56k nolimits :(

    Last Friday i was approved by eircom for dsl, then on sunday i was approved by esat. I rang Netsource (VIA) yesterday and they got back to me today. Only gave them my eircom account number today and hes getting back to me tommorrow to see whether i can get it.
    Then....
    Then.......
    200 gig hard drive... all day all night....
    mmmmmm....

    * other 25% spent gaming, browsing and idleing :)

    123 views and 1 reply. As jeremy paxman would say "Oh come off it now"
    They obviously think this is a ploy to record all ip's of people who admit to downloading illegal material. Or is it !!!!!
