How often does a Linux distro come out? I'd be surprised if there were 30 gigs worth of Linux distros released each month!

I want to download game demos & they're over a gig each!"

I personally believe the people that D/L over 30 or 40 gig per month are just leeching warez & should be big enough to admit it instead of the old "Linux Distros" chestnut.

And for those who say "But I up/download pictures & large documents to my work"-get a business connection & pay the relevant price for the privilege.

@ Martikus-My post wasn't aimed at you directly, more at the point you made about people who download "arge game demos"etc.

to the site btw.
I agree.

I personally would consider myself a Power User (play about with new software, linux included, games etc), and I doubt I have ever gone over the current limit.

The only time I even came close was recently when I was trying out various Linux distros (to see which I liked).

Also with Game demos, whilst it's true that game demos increasingly going over 1 gig, I don't download that many in a day (apart from anything else, it's not practical due to download speeds, and I like to spend some time enjoying what I download).
