My ISP called me the other day concerning my high-speed internet. I spoke to a rep and she said that my dl/ul were unusally high for a residential connection.
I just got high speed in Oct. so I was itchin for dowloadin....Oct- 22gb dl/ul(kazaa lite only)....Nov- 57gb dl/ul ( BT and kazaa lite). She said that if I was using any kind of filesharing program, that I should turn of the sharing...also saying that apprx 22gb was an okay amount per month, but it was still in the high dl's. I asked if this was common and she said no its rare....so with that being said what should I do???
Just tell her to mind her own business and most importantly keep sharing!!

Lower your sharing speeds, ESPECIALLY on BitTorrent -- which will try to overload T-3 lines if given a chance!
Shadow's Experimental BitTorrent client allows you to use a default connection type, although you're limited to the default values under them.
I run with dial-up @ 5 KB/sec and 2 uploads, but usually speed it up to low-end broadband @10 KB/sec and ~4-6 uploads.

HOw do I get dl speeds of 350-500 kbs w/ BT??? I usually keep my settings at the default cable/fast settings....Sometimes I get 250kbs near the end of a file, but usually it slows down to about 100-150kbs if i'm lucky ( depends what time it is).....I wanna get 500kbs and really piss em off...hopefully they won't disconnect me......I'll look forward to their next call.

yeah, maybe you have max. you can d/l - if you want to be sure, just don't d/l more than these 22gb next time.
I don't think this was a warning. I do not think they can see you are using Kazaa.
They only see that ports are being used often, but that could mean also that you have a webserver on your pc
