Haven't read through all posts, so don't know if it's been answered or not. But: What counts as download?
I, personally, stream a lot instead of actually download things onto my computer. Because I find it faster to watch while it loads.
But if it's strictly only things you actually download unto the hard drive, for me it'd probably be under 5-10gb.

I suppose, download would be any data that your computer receives for the a source, be it streaming or saved data...

You all have such great internet connections.
Makes mine feel like ****.
I cannot even vote because I usually use less than 100MB.
Since my connection speed is always 56k (dial-up) you see.

I went to a friends place who had 512kbit broadband and downloaded 80gig in a month.
That was almost downloading constantly.

In sweden it's kinda legal to download. You can't be sued. The only thing that can happen is that you loose your internet for 3 months.

And I have peerguardian on all the time so american goverments like RIAA etc can't connect to my computer.

When I was using xtra's 'Go Large' plan I was pulling in 120-160GB/month, now I've switched to Slingshot and have a 6GB cap :( Costs $40 for a 50GB data block, and I make sure I chew up every last byte the day before it cycles... so now it's 56GB/month without fail :0)

I mostly download Torrents for old TV shows (due to the Writer's Strike) and the newest Linux Distro's to burn to CDs for my friends and family. So I average anywhere from 10-50GB depending on how many seasons I'm getting (average about 5GB per 12-episode season).

Do you mean worth of files or of total up and down usage for this month? If so, I'm 250+ gigs and over a month. I'm close to 500GB this month with all of the new games coming out that I'm buying online (and downloading them from the place I bought them), and the game demos as well, along with my normal net usage and game servers I run.
