How many linux ISOs can you possibly need? Even if you wanted to try a new distro every week you shouldn't be pulling 200GB/month.

well, I usually keep the bit torrent client on so one Iso will transfer 20 + gigs total for each one

and just in case you are not aware there are a lot of distributions out there 4+ gigs in size

Also in case you are not aware many security distributions used for penetration testing are updated almost weekly, with no update ability (for testing purposes). Agian this is just one example

Yes and no, don't forget about the WOW updates that use the BT protocol. While you don't use a standard client, you do use BT to download them, which sucks majorly for people that have an ISP that throttles BT traffic.

But, that is just my 2 cents. Like anybody cares...
