@jakemake123456, my friend was on unlimited 128 kbps plan and experienced high download speeds. He called airtel up. He was given a free trial of 2 mbps unlimited download for 3 months. I am not suggesting you to call up airtel.

HDD Capacity = 500*4 + 160 = 2160 gb [2tb]
-----------------------------------------------
I usually download from rapidshare links , like www.rslinks.org then use firefox and a plugin called "Rapidshare Downloader v0.5.5" to download multiple rapidshare links simultaneously , the speed is good epically for movies which have less seeds on torrents , for the rest I use torrents.
www.torrentz.com - like a google search engine for torrents .
mininova / pirate bay / eztv.it / and my personal fav demonoid.com for it's strict anti BS laws ,

=====================
Major Downloads Include :
=====================
TV Series ( check TV.com )
Movies
Documentries
Software

I have roughly 4 K movies .

Admin , if you are watching , this is in no means a form of advertisement so don't ban me !

I have an 80 GB HDD plus an external Western Digital 250 GB HDD.
Last year I downloaded a lot of movies, games, tv shows. I keep deleting now and then. I feel the year 2006 had the best Hollywood releases.

Btw, your harddisks are connected in raid? How much did they cost? How much space do you have left. I think you dont have to delete a single file for the rest of you life with 2 TB!

Yes they are connected via RAID , well 500 GB is actually pretty cheap .

Here are the current rates + - 200 bucks .

TheITWares - Hard Disk Drives / Laptop Hard Disks

I originally brought 500GB for close to 6 K now SATA 2 is available for half that price .

Oh u'll run out of space very fast ,

Take 80 GB / month in downloads avg ur looking close to 1 TB / year .



Not to mention friends who get their portable home .
