I have a 3 gig ADSL Cap, it sucks! I can only upload/download 3 gigs per month before my speeds are throttled down to nothing, It takes 45 minutes to load a page :angry:

This is why I can't use Bittorrent, seeing as it uploads a shitload so you can get decent download speeds, I downloaded Kill Bill Vol 1, and in two days, my cap was gone :angry:

So what P2Ps out of these Do NOT need to upload alot to get decent speeds and are safe to use also, which of these can get huge speeds without uploading alot? in other words, which P2P is like K-Lite and which are like Bittorrent?

K-Lite type GOOD

Bittorrent type BAD

Ares = ?

EDonkey2000 = ?

Overnet = ?

Limewire = ?

Emule = ?

Thanks alot for helping me out!

Unfortunately for you, most p2p users are not very patient with leeching these days. In many ways it was this type of user that introduced the majority of problems that has lead to the collapse of FT. When the next generation of p2p started springing up (ed2k, BT, etc.) they began to incorporate anti-leeching features not just to discourage leeching, but also to weed out these casual users.

Sux that your ISP now makes you act as a leech but there is nothing much you can do unless there is a way to break free of them. P2p clients are going to become even less friendly to leeches as time goes by, not more friendly.

ditto - those kind of ISP really suck... also, don't download if you don;t plan to contribute AT LEAST 1:1. Remember there are alot of ppl who take filesharing seriuosly and surrender alot of their time to make files available to you (mvoies/series need to be ripped and formatted, eBooks need to be scanned and packaged, software needs to be cracked, etc. etc.).

Simple calculations ought to remedy the problem.

You noted that you were on ADSL - what speed? If you were to be on a 512Kbps service, you could potentially download at a rate of 64KB/s.

Let us assign 307.2MB of your 3072MB allowance for viewing web pages on a daily basis, downloading 10.24MB a day. That renders you with 2764.8MB of remaining bandwidth. That denotes approximately 4 DivX AVIs or a couple of games.

To prevent excessive usage, you could monitor your bandwidth with DU Meter.

3 GB/month is easily lower than what a good 56k can do.
I've downloaded about 750 MB of MP3 files in just 4 days on a 56k without being online all that time.

3 KB/sec constantly for 1 month would be about 7.5 GB/month.
Some 56k's can download faster than 5 KB/sec -- and this doesn't include bandwidth used UPLOADING as well!

What Vamp has doesn't DESERVE to be called broadband.
