sometimes my bandwidth usage can get excessive (I think I was over 200 GB's one month) and I have yet to have any issues with Comcast....

@rr.com

Well Ive been DLing roughly 15GBs of stuff per day and Ive been doing it for several years now. I used to use TWC then they get ticked and try to "upgrade" my subscription after the 6month term expired. Then I switched to earthlink and do the same. Then back to TWC under a different identity. But now for the past year I use cantennas and several different sources for my DLing and it just goes on and on. I am pretty optomistic at this point that I will manage to download EVERYTHING eventually. Neat huh? I especially like the anonimity I have from all those **aa meatheads that like to pick on poor folk. I cant see how they could ever knock on my door so I sleep real good. The way I see it if they want to missuse the legal system and bankrupt suspects into submission, then we should beat them over the head with annonomous cantennas. So head down to your local CompUSA or grocery store, and join the invincible army. After all, its the right thing to do.

do you know what he could be transferring at all? It's Hell I probably use the same amount of bandwidth on simply downloading ISO's for my clients, damn updates or packages from respiratories. Hell I can't afford having tons of drives or CD's because then the crap is outdated a week later and I must re download burn and then transfer.

It's easier for me to simply download it to every machine.

yeah downloading windows updates on computers I repair/build can get rather large all on its own.....there are also a lot of video podcasts I download and what not....

trust me it is easy to get up there fast through legitimate means.... that said I do not think my average month ever breaks 100 GB's....

Any moron knows that college papers and excel sheets won't ever get past 2GB in a month no matter how big of a load you have.

Hell, HD porn takes up a lot of space. You can do 20+ gigs on that be it legal. PLENTY of things out there to download.

You claiming others are pirates is beyond hilarious, can you prove it? I can find you many things you can download over the Internet and gets gigs a month. You don't know what that file is or isn't so just keep your mouth shut.

Hell i can hit 200 gigs a month just beta testing a few games. I had my upload to like 30 gigs before. Pretty funny when TWC called and alerted me to a masive increase in up stream useage. They were worried that i might have been turned in to a pirated software dump. What happened was was hosting a 1 gig beta client download for a game and 2 40 meg updates heh. That month 3 games I was beta testing. Had 1 gig or so client updates and each had over 400 megs of updates. I was testign on at the time 3 computers. Now one had 3 full client downloads over the corse of a month 1 had 1 and the other had 2.

Because of how serious a beta tester i am i tend to do alot of driver updates windows reinstalls and apply various service packs and other large updates and try to pin down the cause of a bug.

Like you said it is not hard to hit that sort of useage legally. Was my hosting of the 1 gig client against my tos not really all my toss said was no "public" "web" servers. My server was a web server yes but it was not serving any web content. It also was not a public server as the beta test was a closed non public beta/alpha. At that time there were less than 500 testers total who worked in 3 time periods essentially shifts. group 1 could only log in between 7 am and 4 pm secound shift started at 4 to 1 am last went from 1 am to 7 am. I only served to shift 1.

"I cant count how many I download. If its good. I got it! The stuff comes out in almost dvd quality and for free. Why would I want to drive my lazy ass across town to go spend $20+ to see a movie. I would be a very poor man if I paid for all the movies I downloaded. shesh."

Sheesh, you do realize not everyone uses their PC to jerk off to right?

If I performed all the backups that I am supposed to, I could easily burn through 200 GB in a month. I run a very small hosting service that I administer remotely. I try to backup everyones site once a week (I also give them an option to do it themselves daily). If I had my own datacenter, I would do it daily. When I download the backups, it is about 25 GB's each time.

My Xbox 360 alone downloads about 25 GB a month. Each movie downloaded in HD (from Xbox Live) is about 4.7 GB and many of the game demo's are between 1 and 2 GB. This doesn't even take into account all the bandwidth used during online game play.

Take into account all the other downloading involved in just general surfing, and web development, 200 GB's is easily attainable for myself without even seeing one money shot.

So basically your assumption that anyone using as much bandwidth as I and others do makes them pirates is not only stupid, it is not backed up by anything other than your unsatisfied libido.

Maybe you should too? If you get one email about business, or one phone call through your VOIP phone from your job (if you have one), or have to do ANY business related surfing from home, then you should get a business account.

In fact, if anyone from work calls your POTS line, you should call your telephone company and demand you get a business account.

Now, if you would like to re-enter the world of reality, we are all here waiting for you.
