Someone once said only about 10% of the internet can be found via a search engine.

you = wrong

I can't be wrong with the statement I made.

Also, well made websites aren't big enough to cause that much bandwidth use. I hate the RIAA so I avoid music that gives them money. I hate the MPAA so I avoid movies. I hate copyright infringement so I don't do it. What's left? Software. And ASCII compresses nicely.

And I bet less than that is even worth while. ;)

Well I suppose that in your opinion there might not be 32 gigs of interesting 'stuff' available via / on the internet, but I and obviously many others here would strongly disagree with you.

That's all I mean :) :beer:

I can agree with that.

I don't know if I'm still liable for doing this, so I'm not comfortable giving more details on what I did. I will, however, say this was not on a local network. This was to the internet at large.

For some reason I think you would have had a lot more fun if the title was "32 beers in 29 hours" or "32 girls in 29 hours" or pretty much anything other than bandwidth.

Maybe for your bud, not for me.
