How much did you DL when you first started using newsgroups?

[Tenth]

Well apparently too much for comcast since they shut off my internet.

I called them and they turned it back on but warned if i keep using excessive bandwidth I will be banned for a year!

Although its not all from newsgroups, I seed almost 24/7.

Upload cost the companies more than download.
That's probably what's pissing them off.

I stated using newsgroups about 3 days ago and am never going back to bittorrent, unless i can't find something on newsgroups. According to powerusenet.com, i've downloaded 116GB in 2.6 days. By this rate im gonna need a couple more hard drives.

Amen to that brother.

Oh yes... Not to mention the safety issues that come with it compared to P2P

Wow after reading this thread the 292 GB i have downloaded this month doesn't seem like much. Quick question though: should I be worried downloading that much living on the campus of a college and using their internet connection?

Only worry after your provider sends you a "warning" letter in the mail or email. Until then, hog up as much free bandwidth as possible.

Use both Usenet first if not then yes BT. I really feel you need to give usenet a chance get to understand but end of day whatever works for you. Good luck, as stated earlier I use about 30 gig per month on usenet man that would take me like 3 months on BT...lol... Well actually that is about as anal as me saying as you said I gave up after 1 gig.... Both systems are good choose wisely.

Way to much to count, but I do know it was 12 360 games, 8 Wii games, and 10 or so PS2 games. I can't count how many movies and PSP/DS games I got. At least 500gb in the first month. Nice to have a 20/5 connection at home.
