Hi all...

Here you can say what your estimated downloads are for the month.

Please provide it as follows:

GB downloaded
Connection Speed
Service Provider
Capped/Uncapped
Cost per month.

With that being said here is mine.

275 Gigs a month
1Mb line
Aerosat (only Eastern Cape)
Uncapped
R950

I hear you but the dvd's aren't used at all. I burn it and store it. It's better than filling a Terabyte drive and then the next moment BOOM...

Seems to happen alot with hard drives these days... seems we are back in the Western Digital days :-)

Plus if I lose a hard drive then it's 1 Tera gone... If I lose a couple of dvd's then it's 40GB's gone... see where im going with this?

Now be honest..... porn is the only way you could possibly find 275Gbs per month to download! I download about three decent main stream movies worth downloading per month and am still left with 18Gb to use in a month so I know.... :)

There isn't one porn movie on my PC or on any dvd I have burnt. I swear that.

Ever heard of complete Series? :-)

Aha, you are a series downloader..... that has never appealed to me. Not sure why you would want a permanent copy of most series. Watching once is enough for me and I really have no need to see it before everyone else does. Pretty much defeats the point as you are then stuck with nothing to watch when it does come on TV and you have no one to talk to about it!

Err....depends on who your friends are - if their like mine then if you talk about it when it's on TV they will be waaaay ahead of you!

if youre friends are slow though, like lancelot's, then watching it 1 episode a week, in crap SD Quality, with irretating ads every 10 minutes should be better.

I on the other hand, prefer series in HD. :cool:

Oh yes please HD all the way.

Plus I can't do the one episode a week thing and the ad's kill me. Hence getting a full episode without any ad's and also a full season to destroy in a week. LOVE IT!

Oh and most good series don't even hit our shores so it's good to be able to watch things that dstv can't afford until it's in the third season.

Well yes you are right... my friends, and I, do have lives outside of watching television series, so one episode a week is usually more than enough thank you. And added to that our memories have the capacity of remembering what happened from one week to the next... in fact we even manage to keep up with the story line during those 10 minute ad breaks that appear to interfere with you ability to remember what happened before them...

EDIT : If you go out and meet real people you are in for a treat... real life outside is even better than HD on a 50" LCD!

Wow... no need to get defensive. Im doing my masters at varsity so im sure none of us who watch it on a daily basis are stupid if that is what you mean. And I am a DJ in one of the biggest clubs in PE so there is nothing wrong with my social life ;-)

Just calm down and stick to the topic.

Thanks
