Thread: Going easy on night unlimited....

Hello everyone,

Back after some time being busy at work. Was going through N-UL thread and found that few of us are getting bored by it. Sure i want to give another perspective of it.

1) I do agree with few like-minded individuals saying that "don't try to squeeze everything out of your bandwidth". Just get the really necessary stuff and don't unnecessarily download junk just because you want to take full out of it. I myself have N-UL plan and there are months where my total usage is below 15GB.

2) A normal PC takes about 200-350 Watts of power, depending on CPU usage. So taking the extra 6 hours of operation daily, it almost doubles the electricity bills of a normal home which the electricity board charges about Rs.4/- per unit, above the normal 100 units (used in a middle-class home). Some food for thought there. You can save much of your electricity bill by using the N-UL judiciously.

3) Internet usage having a big carbon-footprint is making lot of news these days. So, you don't want to have a big carbon-footprint on the planet left by you.

I'm just giving another side to the story. In our nation where people burn up electricity by illegal means giving govt. a lot of headaches of demand-supply issues, these things like internet usage, maynot matter much. But on large scale, even if few percent, it IS a contribution. And all these points mentioned above come over and above your normal requirement.

So bottom line is, if you have requirement, sure feel free to take maximum use of what you are paying for. But do take care to save on your own electricity bills (which your parents might be paying by the way ). And like water, every drop contributes to the ocean.

Real nice thought, einstein

I'm also following this now.... Just downloading the necessary stuff, no matter how much it comes to.....

Good job you both are doin!
Even i will also try to so this!
But by using 500 plan series aren't you guys afraid of those "GIANT" bills?
AS You both are on limited plans?
Don't you update your antivirus programmes and do chatting and browsing?
Suppose a new movie has just released now and you want to download it without waiting for the whole night?What steps you both will follow to save yourself from Bsnl Bills?

@sanjeev_man
nuthin can be done by them .. they have to wait till night 2 to Download whatever they want....

I usually spend morning 6-8 doing all this stuff and all necessary downloads....
These days I find it more than enough.
I feel all the chatting and other browsing can be dealt with the 1.5GB.....
Once in a while or so, I get around Rs.100 or so extra bill, which is quite ok with me....
By the way, I do keep myself updated with all the necessary softwares.
Just about to reach 25GB usage for this month.....

How is this possible that you are almost done with torrents without waiting for 2am on 500 plan infact you wait for whole night if you schedule them!

You keep yourself updated and deal with chatting with 1.5GB?Please verify your statement!And ya don't you get bored for waitin for a movie till morning?

I found one thing about downloads.
When you have RS or HF premium, you hardly wait for anything.....

Luckily I have both at the moment. So, I needn't wait for torrents seeding when I really need something.
It's when you depend on torrents that you keep downloading 2-8....
With RS or HF, you will always get the maximum speeds and you know when it is going to be completed.

As far as the updating is concerned, I told na, I do all that between 6 to 8am.
After all, how much time is it going to take if you regularly update.

Then about latest softwares, I take only What I really need(I took Adobe CS5 and Visual Studio 2010 from the official sites....!!!)

About browsing, I optimize it blocking ads, scripts etc using firefox.
To get a little more freedom, I'm planning to move to 600 combo soon.

??What about the shortcuts such as RS or HF?
These aren't understood by me!

RS == Rapidshare
HF == Hotfile

I think thats wat he means..

Right vengeance....

@ All,

Thanks guys for so many quick posts. Jeez honestly didn't expect replies with such understanding

@Hitler517, its a good idea for you to go to the BBG FN 600 plan rather than pay extra 100 bucks for 100MB or so when you get an extra 1 GB for the same price (100Rs extra which you pay for limit exceeded). Need not mention 200/250 Free calls at present which is real bonus.

@ essbebe, thanks for reps.

One more thing i forgot to post in the main post, you'll be saving a lot of hard disk space (or save yourself from buying new memory), rather than download which you don't need and then delete it later

Thankyou i really need that info and ya those rapidshare and megaupload are really needful
So once again thankyou for the info about the shortcuts!!

As with most good things, too much of anything can leave a person disinterested and bloated. Moderation in diet, spending, luxuries and many more "sensory pleasures" of life has been an essential part of our tradition. Why compromise on health and values?

Kids get burnt out completely playing computer games all day long, lose their interest in activities like sports, making friends etc. and end up with physiological and psychological issues.

NUL is one such thing - there is no doubt that it is a great thing to have, but too much dependence on it, and emotional involvement leads to a mental block... where we just have to download our 4 GB every night, or else we feel unsatiated.

As suggested by most of the others in this thread, the best way to deal with is to stick to the essentials, download only what is necessary and LEGAL, and if possible, automate such downloads. A really wise suggestion is to wake up at around 5:30 or 6, start a download, and maybe go for a morning walk! That way, you download moderately and your health improves too.

Think about it: how much do you download and how much of it do you really need? I know folks who have 1000s of GBs of data with them -- all well arranged and well catalogued -- but of no real use, as they still want to collect more and more.

Seven to eight hours of timely sleep is essential, lack of which can cause unpleasant effects in the long term. So, as our thread starter aptly says, go easy on the NUL, and try to step out of these self-imposed rat races.

no its not like that....i download almost 70-80GB stuff from internet every month, but I never wait or wakeup in the night...becoz ive done my all things automatic...my pc autmatically wake up at 2:00 am, connect to internet at 2:03am then downloading starts then stop and disconnect at 7:59am & shutdown or hibernate at 8:00am
My modem also works automatic with the help of a relay.
My modem ON's when computer on and OFF when computer gets off.

My Dear friend everything is possible..only u need to do is to search.
I can schedule anything any software or browser weather u download from host sites (rapidshare or megaupload with premium or without premium with reconnection method) or torrent everything can be schedule..
Even I can open a 10-20-50 or 100 of webshites in any browser without waiting or waking up in the night.

No, i also have FS, MS, Turbobit premium a/c but I never wake up, i can use 100s of premium a/c with max 20 files parallel download ...i've schedule all things as i already have posted.
I can download 4.2 GB in 6hrs and in one month 30x4.2= 126GB in one month without waking up....
Don't think i download that much every month...i just telling u, it can be done automatic, else i download that stuff only which i need...
mainly songs, games, bluray movies, and some softwares only
which is not possible in any UL plan, only when u run it for 24hrs continous

hmm...i'm satisfied with my N-UL, 4GB is enough, else we can do nothing becoz Night-UL is the only plan where we get so much speed & its become possible to downloads lots of games and blyray movies..which is not possible in any UL plan....therefore i'm satisfied.

Therefore, so i suggest everyone there r plenty of websits and softwares available in the internet, so search it and do all things automatic. and save ur electricity and health. have a comfortable sleep.
and soon i will start a thread in which i will tell everything how to download automatic without waking up in the night & this will help every night-UL user.

The biggest post i've ever met

Well, I need lot of bandwidth to download FLAC, BlueRay Rip, Games. As far as power consumption goes, a laptop ( + undervolting ) saves you lot of wattage (around 2/3rd)compared to a Desktop.
