    Default who's got the biggest Appetite since recent recent torrents and newsgroups issues

    I would say my downloading has decreased recently since the recent issues from around 90-120gb a month to now around 40-70gb
    Partly to do with the fact i dont have my sickbeard and couchpotato running at present, i liked like the layout of nzbmatrix and the DMCA takedowns are stopping people bothering IMO putting decent releases up

    so what your Monthly average currently downloaded say over last 3 months will break it down as follows

    0 - 10gb
    10 - 50gb
    50 - 100gb
    100 - 200gb
    200 - 500gb
    500gb +

    im just talking personal use stuff movies, tv, music, photos all legimate of course

    Sick Beard is even more handy these days, set something up and it comes down before the DMCA takedown happens.

    Most of the time, when DMCA takedown happens, they don't get every upload. So it takes a little digging and you find it somewhere in usenet.

    Thanks to stimpy

    In the last 3 months I'm guessing I've done over 500GB - just checked one folder for one project that's currently at 256Gb.

    All done over a 3.5Mb connection, no newsgroups, only a few torrents. Most of my downloads have been clicking on links (often using a lot of patience to download something that's been split into 100Mb chunks).

    Thanks to Over Carl

    I think mine has gone up if anything cos I've been streaming the fast DMCA takedown stuff instead and found more new stuff to watch on the streaming services.
    Did I ever tell you you're my hero?

    I've nabbed 1.8tb in the last 3 months which is pretty normal for me tbh, I avg about 700gig/month...DMCA has had no effect on me whatsoever, you just need to know where to look and have the right hosts and be quick

    I hardly download much. I download the odd bit of US TV, few SD movies but mostly music.

    Music being vastly smaller than video is probably why.

    ive done over 500GB easy in the last few months (probably double), using a 100mb connection and usenet with the occasional torrent

    personally my downloading is going up and ive just purchased 4x 2TB drives for my HP Microserver as my 8TB readynas is full
    You know he grew up as a little shitspark from the old shitflint and then he turned into a shitbonfire and driven by the winds of his monumental ignorance he turned into a raging shitfirestorm. If I get to be married to Barb I'll have total control of Sunnyvale and then I can unleash the shitnami tidal wave that will engulf Ricky and extinguish his shitflames forever. And with any luck he'll drown in the undershit of that wave. Shitwaves.

    Mine's sky rocketed. Found that coz couchpotato can't find 1080 rips it's pulling full blu ray discs instead. Movies are frequently 50GB+ now.

    I used to used my old mans T1 connection and did downloads of 1TB a day in terms of Films and games. Now I'm back on my 3.25mb ADSL and lucky to do 1GB a week

    I drop to 20-30gb. There nothing out there any more that I want to download. But only started started my 3D movies downloads. Can't wait until I get fibre optics line, pain on a 3mb line.

    Now all I need is a 3D TV.

    A T1 would only do about 13GB a day mate?

    I never think I'm downloading much on BT Infinity as it's so quick, just looked at sab though and it's cleared 120GB so far this month!

    This sab instance has been installed for a couple of years at now and it's showing 7.5TB - very wrong - the problem is where do you store all that lot?!

    Bloody hell, are they all USB disks or is that a RAID set you've carved up in case anything fails?

    Still only 17GB a day though mate - you'd need roughly 12MB/sec to shift 1TB a day, and it's mad that the likes of BT Infinity and others are knocking on the door of that now - it's going to be a nightmare keeping up with that storage wise

    Holy Crap TheThingIs. That is some collection you have there!! Far too much porn IMO though.

    I'm averaging about 2,700Gb download per month on my usage with Infinity at the moment. Although I should really get some more Storage space while I think if it.
