I have always downloading the odd MP3 or app using the likes of Kazaa and now I have a 1mb+ connection BitTorrent, Emule and other apps are proving very tempting.

Well, just remember that the ntl terms & conditions prohibit using the service to breach copyright:

Plus there's always the chance that, if you share a lot of copyrighted material, the owner of the copyright may well find out & report you to ntl....or worse.

Thanks

As other people have said, there is a 1GB per day "limit" (not a cap).
If you download more than 1GB per day, for 3 or more days in any consecutive 14 day period, ntl
may contact you & ask you to cut down on your usage.
More on it is available in the user policy linked above, plus there's info here:

There are also *many* "cap" threads here at CF, if you do a search.
