This quote + that avatar = :laugh:

How do you measure it without using your router?

 

[eelw]

average 300GB a month

 

[Kalvin00]

where's the fusking poll?

Looks like I average around 15Gb/month, according to bandwidth monitor pro.

Of course, that's just my machine...the other two probably account for another couple GB a month.

No idea, don't know how to check it. My router doesn't tell me, its an older Dlink DI-604, not even wireless

Jun 2008 6.73 GB 0.37 GB 7.10 GB
May 2008 28.06 GB 1.22 GB 29.28 GB

i was right

Around 100GB a month probally? I don't know how much Netflix uses, but I have those going all night for background noise, and some in the evenings..plus nbc.com / fox.com / various torrents...general surfing, some games...

About 40GB/mo total, up/down varies, I may spend a few weeks seeding large torrents I've downloaded to 1.5 (upload is only 15KBps, lol).

Will probably get stuck with Verizon's 5GB/mo cap now that they've bought Alltel.

What he said.

 

[vi edit]

About 7 gig down, 500 meg up.

 

[MagicConch]

~50 GB/mo

Between Amazon unbox downloads, wow, and whatever else I can probably guess about 20gb a month. I suspect I'm going to stop using amazon unbox and go out and rent videos again once they start the bandwith caps. Anyone know when they're going to start them on the major isp's?

In gb, averages per month according to Bandwidth Monitor Extreme. Starting in 2007, I had two separate connections so it was easy to upload more.

2004
down - 16.51 | up - 25.81 =
not home much for 6 months of the 8 months I kept track. some live music bit torrents.
3mb/256k

2005
down - 48.56 | up - 156.55 =
first full year with bit torrent and live music trackers.
3mb/512k then 1.5mb/796k

2006
down - 95.06 | up - 209.36 =
more of the above, plus now downloading tv shows and burning to dvd for Philips DVP-642 playback.
1.5mb/796k

2007
down - 236.53 | up - 316.58 =
switched to hi res tv torrents in January then HD tv torrents in spring. shows are now twice the size as last year, then triple. still downloading bootlegs.
5mb/512k and 3mb/796k concurrent

2008 down - 429.73 | up - 278.52 =
now on usenet downloading tons of HD content. if a search pulls 720p, I'm grabbing it. I replaced a ton of low res tv shows with 720p tv caps. Some torrents still. The occasional HD movie download also. I have about 50 of them. Most are HDTV sourced, not available on BluRay or HD-DVD.
10mb/1mb and 3mb/796k concurrent

I grab 7gb of WRC action 16 times per year via torrents. No better source, ATM unfortunately.

I'd like to get my upload below 150gb per month before end of summer. This is over two connections, don't forget. I was at 216gb for April, so I'm heading in the right direction.

I'm a bandwidth hog and I know it. Hell, that Andromeda Strain tv show was 7.93gb. One show. How We Built Britain; 9.83gb. I have another 36gb queued for this weekend. 15 episodes of A History of Britain, 6 episodes of In Search of Medieval Britain, the first 3 episodes of When We Left Earth in 1080i. That NASA show is over half of the total. This HD shit is huge and it looks so good I just can't say no.

I've gotten away from my computer as entertainment and now watch tv again. Once my chores are done, I enjoy tv.

April: 280GB up, 71GB down = 350GB
May: 213GB up, 60GB down = 273GB

I have no idea. Won't be keeping tabs any time soon either.

No idea. I used to use dumeter years ago, but now they want you to pay $25 for a license.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Maybe something to do with having too many open torrent connections clogging up the router? I find that I need to reset mine after a few days of heavy torrenting as well, though my net speed sucks (max 125kByte/s down).

Holy crap, you really like seeding don't you? If I was on FIOS, I would be approaching the TB range because of Wii ISOs and HDTV releases.
