Maybe, but you obviously don't live in the UK where most downloading is capped by ISP's...

I can't see BT (British Telecom) updating all the lines in the UK. Just 3 days ago I lost my net (1mb line) because there are too many people on broadband in my area and the service could not handle it.


I have an "Up to 8MB" connection with BT for over £20 ($40) per month , and even BitTorrent with thousands of seeds (yes, legal) or major international companies' servers get up to, uh, 256KB/s on a good day.

 


 BT has a download limit (in it's fair use policy). I believe it's ~20GB per month.

Then you get capped. Obviously it's the same for other ISP's. They say 'Unlimited' but it can be as little as 2GB to 20GB per month, then you get capped to 64Kb/sec and charged extra for being over limit as stated in 'fair use policy'. 



Good to see this site is still going
