How much did you DL when you first started using newsgroups?

[Krayzie]

In the 18 months since i discovered newsgroups i'm close to 2tb.
Would be more if Virgin Media hadn't brought in there traffic shaping.
(sigh) I miss telewest.

I download interesting PC games, HD movies, OS's and various apps and mp3s here and there. Other than that I don't break more than 200GB a month.

There was a time I constantly had my 12MB connection maxed out while with TorrentLeech. I sat in the top 10 for most downloaded (I was above 12TB within a years time) and one day I woke up and realized that yes, it was like a disease as dasheeki mentioned above. I download the things I need now, nothing more and nothing less. Newsgroups helped me get out of that

360 games and DVD movies puts me at around 150 - 250 a month ...

When I started it was about 100 gig a month. Now I download about 30 gig a month on usenet. What you guys are doing with 600 gig etc a month is beyond me.:dabs:

people who download that much have a disease.

Wow after reading this thread the 292 GB i have downloaded this month doesn't seem like much. Quick question though: should I be worried downloading that much living on the campus of a college and using their internet connection?

I started using my ISP's newsgroups about 1 year ago and have downloaded 415GB this last year.
