100+ GB a month....24/7 downloads or what ?....
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.
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.
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.
I don't know why but its hard to love torrenting...
i always prefer File hosting sites
No wonder my 4tb storage is getting smaller and smaller everyday.
Just think how my 500GB is smothering me then
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 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.
