Interesting, I've downloaded 20gb on a 6gb account. Apparently I've discovered a glitch in their metering. Life is good.

No, I'm not sharing. Don't PM me or I'll add you to the nambla email list.

Yeah, I'm looking at the meter on my account, it's stuck at 5.87gb. I changed the way I get my data from them and time stood still.

If you get caught, play the "dumb user" thing.

then why aren't you happy? 😛

seriously, why bother posting if you aren't going to share with the good people of atot? that's not very nice of you. meanie.
 
What i'd like to know is which nttp provider is it, I've managed to clock up about 500mb of downloads off teranews (50mb/day account)

If it gets abused too much, and the overall bandwidth numbers don't match, it will get discovered and fixed.

(thankfully my local/free server is halfway decent, 1-2 day retention maybe 50-99% completeness (it can bomb hard when its going bad)
