Exactly same question is running in my mind that what are the things that people are downloading. I think downloading a movie is not a wise work and it is a complete wastage of time as the movies are available on rent from video library. Downloading software is ok. But what are the software to be downloaded because one can have interest on 1 or 2 topic but it will be about say 100GB. then what?

well downloading TV series in good quality AVI's is a good way to spend bandwidth.each ep is around 350MB so 1 season of 23 eps is around 8GB.i agree that though in a month you should be able to download all the series you wanted.after this you can either keep downloading older series or aim for HD quality where 1 ep is around 1GB but HD content is useless in my opinion unless you have a FULL HD LCD TV which will cost around 1 lakh & a good speaker system around 25000.i personally prefer downloading anime series & trust me if you find animes interesting you will find 100GB not enough.

my friend windows vista ultimate is ~2.6GB for 32bit version.you have most probably downloaded both 32 bit & 64 bit versions.anyway i always download original OS not pre-cracked ones because you can never know about security risks.my suggestion is download the original OS & then download & use some crack to see it's full functionality & if you like it buy it.it is just 1 time investment for tension free future with no worries about your crack being disabled in future after some update.you can get original VISTA ULTIMATE OEM version for around $180.

also if you want to check the originality of vista/xp you downloaded(only if download claims it is untouched/unmodified because any pre-cracked version is obviously modified) visit here.you can get the checksums(like digital fingerprints unique to every file)of original microsoft released CD's/DVD's for its premium customers.click on show details to get checksums for various releases.if checksum of what you downloaded matches with microsoft ones you can be sure that the XP/VISTA you downloaded is original unmodified version.you still have to use crack though.

VISTA ULTIMATE RETAIL costs $279 & only difference between OEM & RETAIL is you won't get support from microsoft & that OEM version is supposed to be remain activated only on the hardware on which it was 1st activated so if you decide to say change your motherboard you will have to call microsoft & explain them that you just replaced your motherboard & that's why you need to reactivate your VISTA OEM.in case of retail version no questions are asked & you don't have to explain anything.
