Not been here for over 2 years.

But to say hello.

How many GB do you guys download each month?

For the last three months:
24 Aug - 23 Sep : 98.99GB
24 Sep - 23 Oct : 162.09GB
24 Oct - 23 Nov : 188.3GB

So far from 24th November:
76.92GB

With 38GB yesterday alone.

why would you download so much in a month? for what?

hd - film / musik torrents

that's illegal. i doubt that one would be able to download that much legally. this would be either very expensive considering the fact that a 5 mb mp3 costs about one dollar, or he spends years watching youtube hd videos over youtube. but that would be a waste of time...

it is actually possible to legally download that much(40 gb in day is... idk). my highest bandwith usage was like 180gb a month, more than half of that(i guess it was ~110 gb) was downloaded from Steam. remaining part is my regular monthly usage(50 to 80 gb.). I have no idea what i download that much.[btw, 3 pcs are connected to internet(same connection), 2 are regularly used.]

my highest upload was around 60gb.(It was not illeagal tprrent seeding). It was one of the months that i needed to send in yearly/monthly projects, it was quite large in size and uploaded several times.

I have actually downloading my DVD collection, saves me encoding and stuff - so is indeed legal.

I pay just £20 a month for unlimited downloads.

and we of course don't need to point out the obvious, but I'll say it anyway:

1080p HD Pr0n

cause that's what the internet is for.

isn't 90% of all internet traffic about... cute little kittens?

but not to break the topic again: i actually don't know how much traffic i have, but i guess it's about 20 gb.

Lol, Michael that reminds of of that singing group, forgotten their name... ah Avenue Q!

I can easily check with my ISP how much I've downloaded, it's pretty cool

Also, I have to download a lot of videos and things for University, as it's a film course.

Paying your internet connection fees doesn't make it's use legal though. Downloading copyrighted material from torrent sites simply isn't legal.

In fact, to be honest, in a court they would probably say you should simply use your physical DVDs or make copies.

I'm not even sure if 'ripping a DVD' so you can transfer the contents onto a hard drive is technically legal.

With the whole new legal approach of interpreting copyrights as 'licenses', not 'ownership of a physical product', I think more often than not it's not allowed actually.
