Hi,

Ok, before ripping into me regarding the question that follows - understand that I am a broadband virgin.

I have read through a lot of the threads on this site. I have a 2Gb/month ADSL 384 account. As I was reading throught some of these threads and saw ppl complaining about the caps etc, one question kept comming to mind...

What are u ppl downloading ?

Believe me, I am not pro-capping/shaping etc, but what the hell are some of you guys downloading month after month that 30 - 50Gb is not enough?

Am I visiting the wrong porn/warez sites ?

:D Please educate me...
 
yes u are visiting the wrong sites

1st mistake, getting a SAIX account

2nd mistake not coming here first
 
Updating headers for newsgroups alone may use up hundreds of MB's, sometimes even a few gigs.
 
firstly you won't get anything decent off any websites...newsgroups etc are the way to go

2GB not enough?! This one guy in Ireland posted on one the international forums that he managed to pull close to 400GBs in one month! but he had decent cheap uncapped dsl...which we don't.

Headers :eek: noob ;)

Jokes aside - why are you wasting valuable bandwidth by downloading headers? NZB's from http://www.newzleech.com - they're free :)
 
Ok sure, but I downloaded this great, uhmm.. Disney, movie the other day - took me a day and a night. How do one download 40Gb+ a month ?

lol don't stone me just yet :D

Waiting for next month till I get international bandwidth to get newzleech. There's no local search option, so have to make do with headers :(
 
Ok honestly - is it mostly porn/"free"-ware/work related/gaming ? I really battle to consume my measly 2Gb!

lol once you learn how to use torrents and newsgroups you'll realise how little 2GB is
