Re: How much bandwidth do you use per month with plan
I have Airtel 2Mb/s 1699 plan.
It has 40GB fup that for some reason is not enforced in my connection.I cross 60-70GB easily on regular use,and during heavy use 100GB+ download not uncommon.on average it is 120GB/month.
Re: How much bandwidth do you use per month with plan
BSNL EVDO unlimited. Don't know why and how but no bill has been since September 2010. Average usage:- 100-150 GB per month. It was over 200GB in the first 3 months of this year. Will post details once I go home as I use networx which will give some historical insights.
BSNL BB Plan Home Combo 600 Night UL. Some 50 GB traffic usage this month owing to vacations. Even then, don't download much these days.

Re: How much bandwidth do you use per month with plan
I always wanted to run a 24/7 download rig. i even got a spare pc and a UL750 BB conn,
In my area sometimes power goes out for like 5 min for every 2-3 hour( i don't know wtf is the problem with the electricity dept here)
At that time the pc turns off and still remain in that off state even after the electricity comes back after 5 min. Is there any way i can make my pc turn on automatically after electricity shows up? (lol i don't think i am explaining this very well)
This gets the downloads interrupted when i am asleep at night or when i am not at home

What else do we want
I even sometime download 120GB a month...it depends of what u r downloading..
These PS2 games have very less seeders
Less seeders? I download Bengali movies from one site and you have to put up with 1-2 seeders. Even with 24x7 downloading, one 700mb DVDrip takes couple of days or even more to be completed.
Re: How much bandwidth do you use per month with plan
One thing seems to be sure. Everything contributing to these DLs is Movies and Games.
And the only reason uploads are so high is coz everyones torrenting.
What percentage of the usage comes under legal downloads?
On another note i get 1GB/hour at 4mbps. Torrents run at 300kbps (damn seeders) which gives me another 100kbps for youtube which is what I do.
I can live with FUP but not slow speeds.
Re: How much bandwidth do you use per month with plan
Well we all know what is the untold truth about what we download , ~100+ GB every month. Otherwise there will be no more need than a few GBs of bandwidth , even if one watches Youtube videos every day.
And now it really feels like there is nothing else to download . Have applied for change from 500C [ 2 Mbps Night Unlimited ] to UL625C [ 256 kbps Unlimited ] , hopefully will be changed fom June 1. 256kbps , too less to download big amounts , will download something if necessary otherwise PC remains off [ My PC has been on from 0200-0800 almost everyday since 2009 ] For bulk downloads i have my college ISP anyways , can download 10 GB/Hour

Bro just check the offer would have already been changed...I made this mistake thinking they wil change from 1st but they changed at the same day I applied...but good for u that its unlimited...they charged me 2k for my usage
Yes without any games and movies 100GB is not required...I was perfectly happy with my 750UL before...

how did u manage to download that much if u didn't go 24/7...i am also using UL750 conn. And that duration thing is nothing as it shows the time duration for which the router connected to the ISP not the actual usage time period.

I know that. The fact is my router was on for 383 hours, it's the Netgear DG834G, atm you switch on the router, it's connected to internet, (of course you've to wait till the Link comes up). So that time is not my download time. The router is on for almost 12-15 hours per day, my PC is Off at that time, I Wi-Fi a lot, that's why. So the actual Download time may be around 250-260 hours, max.
As I said I don't wanna share how I do that, but do know, that I do.

And to think that I had a 220GB HDD on my lappy for all the downloads. Thankfully the 640GB ext drive came in at the right time.
I was just thinking. Instead of getting a download rig isnt it better to go for a router which is capable of using the torrent by itself [inbuilt bittorrent] and storing it on a ext HDD.
Unless ofcourse you have an old zombie PC doing the job for you.
