It's stale & no one believes it-there aren't enough "Linux" ISOs released each month to justify 60GB per month, so that little gem is priceless.
Yes you "could" download large Linux distros legally & genuinely & go over 2GB per day easily, but you couldn't do it over a month, & anyone that says they can/do download 60GB of legal data per month is either lying or using their residential connection for business purposes (or both) IMO.  |
I didn't say I download 2GB a day. I upload around 1GB a day, the rest is downloads. Most of my upload is p2p, the rest is general usage, ie. web, gaming, instant messaging etc.
Despite what you may believe, p2p (bittorrent) is widely used for legitimate purposes. If people like me did not leave their client running - uploading - after our downloads had finished, others wouldn't be able to download anything - or at best they'd get lousy download speeds.
Fwiw here is my bandwidth usage for the past week.. (note my upload for today is low as I have throttled back to try and stay within the 1GB.. I am on target to exceed it though)
