And said that I had used a combined bandwidth of 160GB in the last month. Also that my current limit was 60. He said I wasn't being fair to my neighbors and that if I don't stop downloading Carl Sagan's Cosmos then I'd get a stern talking to next month. He then offered to bump me up to the 100GB limit and double my internet speed for only $10 more a month.

Anyways the question is, I'm trying to limit how much I use. So I thought I'd set mu upload limit on utorrent to like 5 kb/s but this dropped my downloads to ridiculous speeds. Is there any torrent client that doesn't cap the downloads if I don't upload?

I don't think Azureus/Vuze does, although I could be wrong.

I think that's more a feature of the way the bittorrent protocol works.

I always thought that was how torrents worked.

It's actually not porn, mostly.

Mostly.

The rest of it is "art".

I'd post a list but that's probablly not a good idea.

a dumb thing I did do though is download season 2 of the Tudors, delete it by accident and then download it again. there was 20 GB.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #8 on:** September 16, 2008, 09:26:11 PM »

Tudors sucked, Rome was better.

I know but I have to see how it ends. Will Henry take another wife? Will Marry succeed? The questions.

I'll warez you

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #16 on:** September 17, 2008, 03:12:47 AM »

Even time I see the word "warez" I think of my friend in high school who used to pronounce it like war-ez.

"Dude, I got some sweet Juarez yesterday!"

".........what are you talking about?"
