Thread: How much you download and upload in one month???

Just curious to know that how efficiently we utilise our internet connection.

Last month i was i afraid of billing problem so i don't download much. This month my DL+UL have crossed 60 GB data. Therefore i lie in level 6 downloader, but hope to reach in level 7 downloder at the end of month.
What about You????

i have crossed 125 GB this month upto today.... hope to cross 140 GB till this month end.

on a 2mbps connection 225GB is impossible to achieve.however when i was completing my degree i had access to 35mbps institute line & i downloaded around 600GB in a month.

for now since i have a power cut of 3 hours during happy time(2-8AM) i can only manage to download 40-50GB in a month.still no problem as frankly speaking i have downloaded almost everything i wanted in that 600GB & 200GB more in the previous month.

Wow! i think then you must have 1 Terabyte harddisk to handle such a huge data.

Edit: Not impossible, If a person don't care about his bills then surely he will reach to that mark of 225 GB.

Guys when you guys are downloading so much stuff
what about the electric bills?
I guess to download GBs and Gbs of data you guys will keep you system on 24/7/365
I guess that a normal desktop would consume around 300 Watt of power only the CPU not the monitor.

What is the electric bill you guys get?

my electric bill is coming about 9oo rs...... i don't hv to keep my computer on 24*7,i keep my system on only during free hours(2-8) and i am able to download about 5.7 GB (dl+ul).....

But i hv only 40GB hard disk on my system so hv to write 3 dvd-r every 2nd day... currently i hv downloaded about 700 GB of data from dataone.

But what you guyz download???

Good Question.
Forum Mein login aur logout kartey hai sirf.(Joking)

I am not a heavy downloader but a decent. i usually download around 40 gb to 60 gb per month as that too due to torrents. This is also due to the fact that i can download only during 2 am to 9 am at nights and most of the nights i forget to download anything too!!

@xwhyz

I've taken night unlimited plan (500c) this month only. I was so crazy in the first few weeks, i usually wake up before 2 am and started my downloads. But it affected my sleep so im lazy these days. Some days i dint downloaded anything.

How do u guys keep up. How do u download in the early morning. Do everyone wake up @2 am.

Another problem is that my whole internet connection stops after an hour of downloading. After that i.ve to Restart my Modem to continue.

So these are the main problems.

hey guys how do u able to download this much.........i can able to download only 10 GB.......i too have torrents.......but its downloading at the rate of 30kb/s........can anyone help me which software is good for torrent download and how to increase its speed........i checked that seeding is good but also i am getting only 30kb/s sometimes it goes 10kb/s

which plan are you using?in home 900/750 unlimited you will get around 30KBps only.only in limited home plans like home 500 you will get speeds around 200-220KBps.

Most pertinent questions:
1.If you download above say 4 to 5 Gb where do you folks store them as most HDs range from 40 to 160 GB. Do you DVD them ,if so how many GB can u write?

2.Which institute offers 35mbps WOW!??

1.Well I have
80GB + 260GB SATA

2.Burn it to single layer DVD(4.3GB) or dual layer(8.7GB) one,both are available in market now.

3.100 pack DVD(good one)(HP) costs starting from 1200/- to 1500/- depending upon the dealer.I got 1250/100=Rs.12.50/DVD, hmm pretty cheap isn't it.lol

Last month I downloaded around 140GB ,out of which 50 GB movies,30-50GB games,10GB softwares,10-20 GB of spare stuff like themes,wallpapers,small tools,clips(from youtube,metacafe etc),deleted some movies videos,say 20 GB,burnt 30 GB,this is an approx. calculation,so around 10 DVDs roughly in a month.

what a stupid question.. I dont think forum is meant to teach elementary maths.. lets stick to the excellent topic of this forum

2.Which institute offers 35mbps WOW!??

IIT who else.i have 4 hard discs---40GB,80GB,250GB,500GB & 1 mobile 40GB hard disc.i also got backup of various stuff i downloaded on around 400 DVD's.now i am thinking about getting another 500GB hard disc.even though now i can download only around 50-60GB with bsnl(due to power cut in free night time) i still have lots of stuff on DVD's which i downloaded in last 2 months of my duration at IIT last year(approx.800GB,total is around 1200GB) so now i have to buy hard discs to copy the stuff from DVD's to hard discs as i find DVD's good for backup & hard discs for keeping & viewing the stuff.

Oh I am sorry, but first I didn't think you wouldn't get a simple joke,
second,go show your professionalism in your office,internet is no place for you.
third,the question was not stupid,because it was not a question,it was a joke,use your 2pound brain first then talk,

so who do you think is stupid now,the question(if you think it is) or you ?

Don't worry I was not serious,dar gaye kyaa ?
But still first think about waht other people would feel about what you say,you are in this forum to help and get help,so don't comment unnecessarily to let other people down,because ultimately it'll come back to you.You would need some solution one day and then you'll be in trouble.
Don't mind if I have said anything wrong.

Do you know anything about data transfer rates of USB HDDs? I am planning to buy one.

mine is old(bought it in mar 2007) & even though max transfer rates are 480mbps for USB 2.0 in reality it is much less.here is a test result----
