How many GB's would you guys say you're downloading a week?
10ish
Edit: Actually that's not true. When they gave me a warning they said I was at 120gb for the month. Not sure how much constantly streaming and playing online games uses.... But I bet I'm at least 20gb per week.
I watch TV online all the time. Especially sports that are not broadcast in my area. I wonder if they monitor those sites as well? There are so many to choose from. I always find the game that I am looking for.
As far as straight Torrent Downloading I am averaging about 10 gigs a week. I am not sure about my uploads but I think that one is around 15 gigs a week.
Some weeks I don't download torrents at all but there have been a couple weeks lately that I have downloaded 35+ Gigs. I usually download the full 1080p releases which have been around 10 gigs or so a piece.
I watched Moneyball last night... its one of the better movies I've seen this year. You don't have to be a baseball fan to like the movie. But it does give a good look inside what its like running a major league sports team.
Just finished Warrior... excellent movie with a good story.
If you haven't been watching the TV series Sherlock on the BBC - join the bandwagon. You are truly missing out if you haven't seen em yet. They are better than the movies anyday (although the movies are still good to watch)...
But Season 2 of the BBC version just aired yesterday, as a FYI.....
I'm excited!
Benedict Cumberbatch rocks! Excellent series.Quote:

BTW, has anyone received three strikes and you're out warning from Comcast for downloading pirated movies? I had two strikes, then I moved to NY :D
It's a new Sherlock. It takes place in Modern times, but has the old book theme. It's good. Not sure about Comcast - I use Qwest, sorry.Quote:

And yes, I actually meant Qwest. One day I noticed my browser was redirecting to Qwest website telling me to call them. When I did, I was informed that my account is suspended because it was used to download pirated content. When I asked how I can get it reactivated again, I was told to delete all the illegal content. I was also warned that after a third occurence my contract with Qwest would be terminated. I had two strikes. In both instances they forwarded me emails from some California attorney named something Hussein with all kinds of legal text and the titles of "allegedly" downloaded movies, tv shows.
Nope, never received a warning of any type from anyone.Quote:

Standard response to any legalize involving torrents is "Thanks for letting me know I had a problem with the security settings on my wireless router".
Maybe even more interesting... I have at least two neighbors with unsecured routers, I could always just download through those connections... :lol8:
Sounds like we need to set up a bogley file sharing serverQuote:

CenturyLink and Torrents.... so.... any of you using CenturyLink and torrents? Recieved any warnings or notices?
The reason I ask is I'm switching to CenturyLink to get more speed at a much cheaper rate. My current ISP could care less what I do so long as they get their check every month. Just curious what others have experianced with CenturyLink.
FWIW: I don't torrent a lot... but sometimes it's the only convenient way of getting the show or movie you want to watch.
Thanks in advance...
:2thumbs:
I'm using CenturyLink (unfortunately) and I don't torrent a lot of movies, it's usually TV series like Breaking Bad, Falling Skies and such.
Love falling skies! When those insects crawled out of that dude's mouth I got legit creeped out. Hasn't happened for a long time. :haha:Quote:
