Just a word of warning to all 3G users:
I recently qued up a download of the latest version of Knoppix (awesome piece of software if you want to fiddle with alternative OSs without formatting or partitioning your primary drive). However, it is a rather bulky 700MB download, so I used the office network for the download.
Unfortunately for me I used Getright (download manager) for the download, and I failed to notice that the download didn't complete at the office.
Back home I happily plugged in my 3G card, and started a connection. My wife called me to watch Survivor, and by the time I got back to my machine, Getright had reconnected and downloaded a HUGE
chunk of data. Hello cap.
Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it, as I'm fairly savvy with my PC and usually quite good with this kind of thing. But sometimes our own technologies defeat us!
