Download limit

Munkyman · 21 Jun 2006 at 22:09

I have a download limit of 5gb on my ISP (Plusnet).

Does general browsing count towards the download limit or is it classed just as web browsing?

Hi

Everything you view online is downloaded to you machine and will be counted as part of you limit.

If you have a limit you can install some software which will keep track of everything you download and upload

Try http://www.dumeter.com/

It will give you a day by day and month by month report on you usage.

I installed it when NTL started imposing download limits, although they seem to have lifted them now.

Give the software a go and see exactly how much downloading you are doing.

Hope this helps

I'll give it a go

There's also a (not necessarily accurate) tool in the Plusnet portal.
