How much bandwidth do you use per month with plan

One thing seems to be sure. Everything contributing to these DLs is Movies and Games.
And the only reason uploads are so high is coz everyones torrenting.
What percentage of the usage comes under legal downloads?
On another note i get 1GB/hour at 4mbps. Torrents run at 300kbps (damn seeders) which gives me another 100kbps for youtube which is what I do.
I can live with FUP but not slow speeds.

Well we all know what is the untold truth about what we download , ~100+ GB every month. Otherwise there will be no more need than a few GBs of bandwidth , even if one watches Youtube videos every day.
And now it really feels like there is nothing else to download . Have applied for change from 500C [ 2 Mbps Night Unlimited ] to UL625C [ 256 kbps Unlimited ] , hopefully will be changed fom June 1. 256kbps , too less to download big amounts , will download something if necessary otherwise PC remains off [ My PC has been on from 0200-0800 almost everyday since 2009
] For bulk downloads i have my college ISP anyways , can download 10 GB/Hour

Bro just check the offer would have already been changed...I made this mistake thinking they wil change from 1st but they changed at the same day I applied...but good for u that its unlimited...they charged me 2k for my usage
Yes without any games and movies 100GB is not required...I was perfectly happy with my 750UL before...

With my rig if I run it for 24/7, my parents will kill me with an axe. Last month the duration was 383 hours. Now please don't ask me how.
how did u manage to download that much if u didn't go 24/7...i am also using UL750 conn. And that duration thing is nothing as it shows the time duration for which the router connected to the ISP not the actual usage time period.

I don't know why but its hard to love torrenting...
i always prefer File hosting sites
OK some data I got from networx which is logging my internet usage data since 11 Sep 2009.
Usage since that day till now:
DL - 1548gb
UL - 165gb
Dial-up duration (EVDO) - 8672 hrs ie 361 days.
Highest downloaded in a month - Feb 2011 - 255gb
Highest uploaded in a month - March 2011 - 17gb
No wonder my 4tb storage is getting smaller and smaller everyday.

I know that. The fact is my router was on for 383 hours, it's the Netgear DG834G, atm you switch on the router, it's connected to internet, (of course you've to wait till the Link comes up). So that time is not my download time. The router is on for almost 12-15 hours per day, my PC is Off at that time, I Wi-Fi a lot, that's why. So the actual Download time may be around 250-260 hours, max.how did u manage to download that much if u didn't go 24/7...i am also using UL750 conn. And that duration thing is nothing as it shows the time duration for which the router connected to the ISP not the actual usage time period.
As I said I don't wanna share how I do that, but do know, that I do.

And to think that I had a 220GB HDD on my lappy for all the downloads. Thankfully the 640GB ext drive came in at the right time.
I was just thinking. Instead of getting a download rig isnt it better to go for a router which is capable of using the torrent by itself [inbuilt bittorrent] and storing it on a ext HDD.
Unless ofcourse you have an old zombie PC doing the job for you.
Legal DL: /month
PS3: 10-15GB/month [Demos, Patches, PSN?, and online play]
Youtube: 5GB? maybe
Torrent: Mostly anime 5GB

I have mostly TV Serial occupying almost 2 TB of my total 4 TB . My home uTorrent shows DL - 1.2 TB , UL- 336 GB , since don;t know exactly when but must be before Jan 2010. And from college i download from File Hosting Sites , IDM doesn;t show any download stats

I may have some 50Gb Tv serials only
Remaining movies games video songs discovery etc
I have a collection of 450+ DVDs Write each and everything I downlaod
I used to buy DVD;s in packs of 100 [ Bought two Sony 100 DVD Pack for RS 980 each
] that was years ago. Most DVDs get corrupt , even before using once. Stopped using DVDs 2 1/2 years back. Even per GB cost is somewhat higher.Better to download , Delete [ or keep if it is really important ] If you need something you deleted earlier ,download it again. I hardly have anything to download nowadays , i won't be devastated if one of my disk gets corrupted or something , i will just get it again.. Even 2 MBps for 6 Hours per day is good enough for me
