What Do U Think You'v Downloaded In Total?

[Wolfmight]

Some people dont relise how much they really download ever since they got broadband or 56k.

Hmm, lets put it in these terms:
choose one of the following:

1. Not much, i download mp3s mainly

2. Hmm average.. 5gb total..some movies

3. Ripper..I download atleast 1-3gb a month

4. Pretty Extreme..I download lots atleast 3-5gb a month

5. Major! Atleast 8-10gb a month

6. and...ahem.. The Supreme Being atleast 15+gb a month..all categorys



now what would you guess your total is as well if you like...


For me:

I'd give myself a : 3 I've probably downloaded hm... say over 16gb all together ever since I got broadband.

[Shinigami_[R.I.P.]]

oh boy... technically I am a 6 :lol: but I'm slowing down so a 3 :P

[The Great Dude]

Number Three, but I'm starting to slow way down. :P You call 5 Gb average? :lol:

By the way, everytime I post, I almost always see you Shinigami. :lol:

[Wolfmight]

I use SBC, but they just joined yahoo so there's probably literally hundreds of people who download twice B) as much as me... I want to keep average now

btw I downloaded all 3 of 3 files for the LOTR Two Towers screener... hmm 2.1gb there. 700mbx3.. ;)

*ment 5 gb total, as in never downloaded over 5gb hehe

[FuNkY CaPrIcOrN]

;) Ummmmm between 50-100 albums a month.....whatever that comes too.

[Ron]

Between 15 and 25GB a month here.
Well, that's up- and download combined.

[puremindmatters]

hm, would be your category 6, and I had to burn about 550 CDs so far, you do the maths.

[stoi]

well at the moment probably about 15gig a month but last week i downloaded 7gig after a reinstall of windows, as i havnt got a cdrw or a big hdd i couldnt back my files up so had to download them all again :(

but next month im hopefully getting a brand new desktop PC with an 80gig hdd and the new sony dvdrw so i expect that figure to go up dramatically, how about 2gig a day or even more so 60 gig a month :o hopefully. (sony laptop with 12gig hdd at the moment :( )

and yes im on ntl lets just see them cap me <_< roll on T3 connection for the home user thats what i say :D

[toddiscool]

I am definetaly a 6, around 50gigs a month, reason being i always get some kind of virus by doingso and have to fromat every month and have to download everything again because i am too lazy to burn it.

:geek: Not a math major or anything.....but would&#39;nt that be 50 gig total you have downloaded? :geek:

[Chilly]

Its got to be.........5. Major&#33; Atleast 8-10gb a month + abit more. :P

Easy when downloading films all the time ;)

[arie_huberts]

I&#39;m a 5, I download about 8 Gigabites a month and now in the holidays I download like 8 Gigabites in a week time ( so for now I&#39;m just the supreme being of downloading)

[RPerry]

I&#39;m probably between a 2 and a 3, which isn&#39;t bad considering I&#39;m on dial-up B)

[SolidWing68]

I would say 3 because I mix it up when I&#39;m downloading, I try not to just stick in one category..

[VB]

About 80 GB a month for a couple of months now. Before that below 5 GB a month.

Paul you really deserve it to be the k-lite supreme master. :D
what kind of connection do you have?


I download about 6 GB a month.

[dingoBaby]

I just started in Feb and I have downloaded about 15 GB. Mostly music and some shows.

[tilen76]

In aproximately three months since I got broadband, I would say around 150-200 GB, which would make 50-60 GB per month on average.


Damn, if I could use my connection to the maximum, it could have been:

3 months ~ 100 day ~ 2400 h ~ 144.000 min ~ 8.640.000 sec * 128 kb/s ~ 1000 GB

I&#39;m using less then 20% of my potential. :(

[Benno]

Paul forget my question abour your bandwith, since tilen showed me how much you can even download with a 128kbps connection. :wacko:

Correction, that&#39;s 1024 kbps, which makes it 128 KB/s

[Switeck]

I download as much as I can, at least among the stuff I like (read: anime&#33;)

I probably average 1 GB a day for downloads and 2GB a day for uploads.

[vivitron 15]

My DU meter has ran since the second week of Feb, so about a month now.

Dloaded Total 17Gig
Uloaded Total 19Gig

Total traiffic 36Gig

[Wolfmight]

wow, and I thought I was downloading too much hehe..
well, btw I need to uplug an extra fan I added recently to my cpu cause it&#39;s too loud.
I got a pci slot fan, mb fan, hd fan, & proccessor fan. (my computer is left on all day)

Used to crash, never has now

[Genius]

I guess somewhere in the region of 20gig a month.

[VB]

I have got 160 GB of storage since a few weeks. Before that I had 80 GB.

But I burn everything I download. I have got about 800 full CD-Rs. Mostly movies.



I have ADSL. Max speed around 500 KB/s.

If I didn&#39;t had a traffic limit, then I would download much more.

[Chilly]

:lol: All i can add to that is that you must have plenty of wonga :lol:

[Luca_Snipes]

I&#39;m way past the 6 mark, probably a 10 or so on that scale :o of course, alot of it is junk and get deleted after a few days, evenso, i&#39;ve managed to fill 360Gig of disk + 1000&#39;s of CDR&#39;s over the last year of so :P


*note to self, run if the cops come round

**2nd note to self, where did i put the cd&#39;s??

[Wolfmight]

wow, 1000s of cdrs

[imported_uncle_cracker]

i am on category 4 :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t: :w00t:

:beerchug:

[xJacobxDxCx]

well im on dialup but that doesn&#39;t stop me from downloading the big files like games. i d/led about 100 dreamcast games and every game is atleast 100mb. so u figure out how many gb that is, and also i have 11.7gb of music, a few movies(8mile, daredevil, barbershop, biker boys...) about 10 gb. i don&#39;t remember which number that falls under tho

[Benno]

I have ADSL too but I only have 256 kilobits/sec

[Wolfmight]

Yea..too many people get kilobits and kilobytes mixed up.. K/b is messed up way of showin it. It should be K/by and K/bi

[J'Pol]

No-one told me you could download stuff. How does that work then. Can I get some music files.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I download about 10 Gig per month, and have been using K-Lite for a while (not even sure how long at this point). All I know is I have to clean off all my hard drives once every month or so...

[Curley]

Dunno really, only about 1-2 gig per month. I used to download a lot more before I got this new comp but I never watched half the movies or listened to most of the songs, so now I only download things I know i&#39;m gonna watch/listen to.

[Wolfmight]

i got a 120gb hd here btw

[ripley02]

probably between a 2 and a 3

[D_Shane]

I really stopped counting. I&#39;m on my third 100pk and used up a 50 before those. Almost all are movies @ 700+/- mb range. Several game filled disks. So what 300 disks with 700mb ...210gb round to 200 plus whats on hard drive.

Uh oh..I think I&#39;m becoming a file packrat.

[Wolfmight]

soo many people share files now that I think the internet might have a secure/very limited feeling in the future. We will probably have to log in to about 1-2 government ISPs that are monitered 100% and you only have about 1-2 hours to use it.. hey, with the way people share stuff now..it might happen :( .
But&#33; people like us allways find a way to get around things (i.e crackz, serialz, ahem warez). There&#39;s allways private networks :D :lol:

Excellent, The biggest load of Pi&#036;h I have ever seen posted.

Few questions, which government is going to do this, how are they going to enforce it throughout the world. On what basis are they shutting down all of the existing ISPs.

I sincerely hope that you are serious about what you say. It really gives hope to everyone else out there.

[deckard]

I am replying only to encourage both upgreade to broadband and to share everything they can, because this is only how it is possible.

As of May 2001, I had no digital music, and no movies.

Games are another matter. I worry myself about that.

As of March 2003, I have all the music I want, 250 feature movies, another 200 worth in short features and television.

How much did I download?

Almost no music. Out of the 23 Gb of my digital music, I encoded it myself from my own CDs, my friends, or the public library, to the tune of more than half.

Almost all video. Out of the (I have no idea, 300-400Gb?) movies, I&#39;ve actually only ripped two or three myself. And although I&#39;ve also been allowed to mooch from my friends, and vice versa, I guess that all that stuff has been pretty much been downloaded.

Game producers and companies and designers make so little money that I am worried about the playable games I&#39;ve downloaded.

That&#39;s a huge amount too.

My CD and DVD burner is busy all the time.
