Re: [News] PowerBoost

HTTP headers contain file size I think. This probably only applies to downloading files via HTTP, not other protocols like bit torrent, but I don't know for sure.

That would make it pretty pointless, really.

Casual web browsing really only creates a minimal amount of traffic. Rarely, if ever, do I even get near to breaking 3 megabits a second doing casual web browsing. Only when I DL something huge, (linux distro, FTP transfer, STEAM update, game demo, BitTorrent, e.t.c.), do I actually hit the cap. Comcast knows that well enough.

Plus, the news mentioned movies and stuff, which really isn't usually transfered http. (the majority of "movies", if you know what I'm talking about )
