I must admit I am downloading so much these days compared to what I used to when I had a 1.1mb adsl line o the sad days of slow speeds but hey no stm atleast

And here me thinking a was a heavy downloader, but some people I can't belive they download that much in a month, No wonder Virgin introduced the traffic management.

take it u like linuxs?

I could download a 100 iso`s and still would`nt be over the 100G mark.

I`ve seen that "you must like Linux" joke/comment a few times when the heavy amounts get mentioned but,even just on this place though...most heavy downloaders i see are actually Windows users.....or so it seems anyway.

It`s turns out that i actually like Linux myself but i`ve certainly got better things to do with my "pc time" than sit downloading copious amounts of crud all day everyday.

No "man page" jokes now ok

If I AM getting a linux iso I usually download it direct from Virgin anyway to get the best possible speed.

Sorry DL.....my sense of humour is lost on you possibly?

I knew i should have added another smiley...tch.

There are certainly a few things in life i take very very seriously but you can rest assured than not one of them have anything whatsoever to do with anything happening in virtual webworld here.

In fact some of the "goings on" i`ve come to know this last 18 months have been the "source" of sooo much fun & laughter.I`m forever falling off this chair of mine

VM implemented STM due to a rather large amount of people using cloned modems and stealing the BW actually

Test 1: 1024K took 2962 ms = 345.7 KB/sec, approx 2849 Kbps, 2.78 Mbps
Test 2: 1024K took 4683 ms = 218.7 KB/sec, approx 1802 Kbps, 1.76 Mbps
Test 3: 1024K took 3941 ms = 259.8 KB/sec, approx 2141 Kbps, 2.09 Mbps
Test 4: 2048K took 8688 ms = 235.7 KB/sec, approx 1942 Kbps, 1.9 Mbps

Overall Average Speed = approx 2184 Kbps, 2.13 Mbps

I`m sure someones been off with some of mine when i was`nt looking

I`ll be jumping on the 1Mb stb at this rate.

Download roughly about 15GB a day, about 450GB a month.

v0id · 21-10-2007, 21:11

Around about the 600GB mark, probably more with browsing/email/ftping.

It drops to about 150GB during the summer though, I've no idea why

The Hitman · 21-10-2007, 22:01

600-800GB a month depends on what sort of Linux or Distros is available

Sirius · 21-10-2007, 22:07

Total for last month was 750 gigs worth of HD Linux instruction video's

mcmanic · 22-10-2007, 09:19

i would say probably 50/60gig a week, not 24/7 but use whenever so not bothered by STM whatsoever. if it kicks in in kicks in.

Got a letter back in the cap days for downloading 150gig in a month, told me to ease of so i downloaded 149gig and got another letter saying thankyou for reducing my download, lol
