    In my case it's because I don't have enough money to pay for certain software, albums, etc. (my country's exchange rate doesn't help either, to convert from euros to my local currency you have to multiply by 5 ), or simply don't want to.

    I Would also like to know how much music you roughly download per month....
    An average would be anywhere from 5 to 10 albums a month. Sometimes I download enough music to fill a DVD5 in a few days, sometimes I don't.

    I guess...to share files?
    As already stated, the main reason to download are the way too high prices out there. Sharing involves a variety of factors, and the most common one is the sense of community. And not only meant as a tracker community.

    I download like less than 5 gb of music per month

    If you would like to listen to music, you need a method to do this obviously. With the improvement of technology digital music became practical.
    And the great thing about digital music - it's free, not only in the sense of possibilities but also from an economic point of view.

    Today MP3-Players are popular for music listening, and file sharing is a great way to charge them with music, so I guess that's why people use it.

    Takes 6mths before music from the US gets here. So thanks to H3X (and other grps know for leaks) I can get it a month before the US does .

    I'm capped to 50gb/mo and I use it all.

    Why should I wait x amount longer just because of my location? That's if it's not banned by the time it gets here .

    I download less than 1GB mp3 per month.
    I do it for many reasons, way too many.
    But to enumerate one of the most important ones, the comfort. One click away, nearly instantly I get the album, and I pay nothing.
    Is this perfect? Yes, it is.

    I use both torrents and usenet (mostly the latter).
