Anything between 20gig to 80gig...
I've actually been monitoring mine since i've been looking to get a new isp and hopefully some maxdsl. Quite interesting to see actually.
July - 44Gb
June - 28Gb
May - 73Gb!!
Not a huge amout of that during on peak times at least. I work or game during the evening then leave downlaods and bt going over night and switch it off before work in the morning.

I upload a dozen or so of my favorite Linux distributions. It's typical for me to have 300 times the upload than I have download.Jez said:

I like the distributions and because I see them as benefiting me by writing good, useful software I like to give back and help them distribute it at high speed.Jez said:Why would you do that?I dont upload anything. I just download everything from my favourite news provider. Still doesnt seem to break 20GB. Then again i dont have any porn, i suppose that could mount up quickly
What do you mean you download everything from your favorite news provider? You're downloading news?
News is just a generic name for NNTP providers, or newsgroup providers. Often used for the high speed distribution of binaries.
For me it just means that for a small monthly fee i dont have to bother with the aggro of peer to peer type programs or other unreliable alternatives.

What aggro? If I want to download a new distro I nab the torrent and in fifteen minutes I have it. There's nothing to it.Jez said:
I have found all of the alternatives to not guarantee to use all my available bandwidth all of the time. Thus i cannot get things exactly when i want and know exactly how long they are going to take.
I often for example will want a 700MB file in 15 mins time, nothing seems to be able to 100% guarantee that, and for it to definately be exactly what i want, other than the news providers.
Anyway thats quite enough discussion on the subject. I will continue to not understand why anyone could wish to use more than around 30GB per month, even for reasons which wouldnt be able to be classed as 100% legal.

Fair enough. Now back to that topic. It must be around here somewhere...Jez said:No, not really. I couldnt care less about it. I can see where your BW is going though, the average person here however, i assume does not do what you are doing, so must simply be downloading things for the sake of it
Im the same as BillytheImpaler.Jez said:No, not really. I couldnt care less about it. I can see where your BW is going though, the average person here however, i assume does not do what you are doing, so must simply be downloading things for the sake of it
I use Ubuntu as my primary OS on my laptop, so i make sure i download every version they have of Ubuntu and seed them constantly. They gave me free software that i find useful, so im helping them by seeding.
