How much do you download in a month? (part2)

Well this month I downloaded enough to piss off my ISP (Comcast), since they suspended my account for bandwidth abuse. Apparently 1 terabyte puts you in the top 1/10 of 1% of bandwidth users (what they told me) and that equals a warning/suspension. I was warned to cut back or be banned for 1 year.

All my downloads are on Usenet. No bit torrent or porn. I live in the US and just bought a new DVD player that plays PAL and NTSC (under $100 @ Best Buy) so I had to go back and download all the movies I though I wasn't able to get before.

I used to download about 400 gb on powerusenet but on Giganews I have stepped it up with the 200 day retention. Last year with Bittorrent I would DL less than 50 gb a month. Its all Comcast's fault for throttling my torrent traffic and making me search elsewhere for downloads.

About 10 Gb, i suppose

every month is different, but on a good month well over 100GB.

Depends but average 80Gb

Over 200gb last month but that was because of all the free leeches that were going on in the torrent world. Will probably be around 100gb this month but who knows...

I've downloaded a LOT of data the past two months. There are two reasons for that.
1. The freeleech-es mentioned by punki_rach
2. I buyed two 500GB external hard drives....which are full now

Now I'm gonna download just my tv shows and an occasional movie and/or game
