I know that my computer is set to download 80KBps throughout each day

Yeah let's say you download this 12 hours each day that is 103 gigs a month. Normal bandwidth hogs take up 30-50 gigs. Of course you are going to get a letter about it. You might get away with it if you had DSL but not cable.

My computer that was downloading the radio streams was on 24 hours a day throughout the month. So basically, I ate up 6.9GB per day alone just from my computer. There was 31 days in July, so that would mean I ate up about 214GB in that month. By these calculations, this is just by using up 43% of the bandwidth available given by Comcast with their 1500Kbps.

Why did you need to stream so many radio stations 24 hours a day every day? Was it out of pure fun? Because you can?

Because I liked the music that's played over the Internet 24x7x365. Go to www.di.fm. Trance music.

I hate the music that's playing on the regular standard non-digital radio in the car. So I compile my own music on CDs to listen to. Now these are much more enjoyable to listen to than all that crap played in the car radio.

122.80 gigs for july via du-meter for me.

I agree. Who the hell can listen to 5 radio channels at the same time anyway?

If you were to actually go and read through all my posts (you sure have a lot of patience and time to do so ), you'd find out I actually listen to these streams at a later time. Think TiVo as what it does for TV. Get the picture?

"Think TiVo as what it does for TV."

I'd like to see you use TiVo to record five stations 24x7.

I'd like to do that too... Except that I don't plan on getting one. I'll just use my computer instead. Hehehehehehe. Besides, there's nothing worth recording on TV 24x7. Maybe for a few hours, but a lot of the shows are crap.

What's next only 15 e-mails a month?

I could only get about 10 e-mails at a time. I have to keep AOL because I get about 30-40 e-mails a day as well as all of the spam. Comcast pretty much sucks. If I get that letter, I will cancel my access on the spot.

By the way...what program are you using to capture the streams?

StreamRipper32
