How many Gigs do you download a day? -
June 21st, 2003, 05:10 AM
To celebrate me passing my 100th post im going to start my first poll.
How many gigs do you download a day on average? Could you include your download speed aswell. I download about 1.2 - 1.6gb a day @ 600k downstream |

I download about 10 files a day, more or less. I have dial-up, so my downstream speeds are ridiculously slow. But still I have managed to build a collection of about 4500 files over the past year and a half. It's time consuming, but well worth it!!! :finger the over-priced cd's that are not very good anyway.

I actually dont download that much...
An mp3 here and there, maybe an album (rarity) The only time I get on a downloading roll is when new movies on BT come out or a good game :P |

It depends really. Sometimes it'll be 2 or 3 gigs, sometimes none.
Oh, and broadwayrock - your ISP doesn't happen to be NTL does it? |

Yes it does.
NTL had an proposed plan for a 1 gig a day cap. But recently a NTL boss said: "We used it to contact customers who were doing a lot of filesharing and peer to peer in the busy periods and we politely asked them to not do that and we have seen a shift in usage and that's done two things. It has improved the overall level of service and it's actually reduced the capital spending going forward" Now they see the sense in not imposing the cap at all |

I don't download alot because I'm on a shitty dial-up connection. I know I don't download any amount in gigs in one day so it's more a question of how many megs I download a day which is probably around 8 or 9 total. I usually download music and when I'm feelin' the urge, porn.

It really varies. Sometimes less than 1/2 a gig and other times (like this weekend) about 3.5 gigs and still going.
Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats". |

The 600kbps always gave it away didn't it?
I'm on the same.. and NTL are trying to limit us to a GB a day... in other words, we might as well only have 128kbps downstream! :;) m e t h o d-----...Target aquired: BREIN |
