I'm glad I don't need to watch the amount downloaded on the home Internet any longer. Between my kid downloading most of his Nintendo Switch library to his shiny new SD card on Christmas night and me downloading 100 GB or so off Steam tonight, it would have blown away whatever limits my account had.

To think, I took a screenshot of an especially heavy download session one time in the 90's, where I managed to stay online for almost 24 hours and downloaded 139 MB! One session!

I hear you. My current upload since I moved into this place is 43tb. And download is 18tb lol

I remember struggling to download 1.6mb for a shareware game over an hour or so...

I might have 18tb total storage capacity in the house (5 phones, 3 tablets, 5 laptops, two servers, one desktop and external storage). I sure as hell don't have 43 tb. What the hell are you transferring?

Mostly Virtual Instruments. One drumkit can be upto 170gb. A piano could be 120gb etc It starts to add up after a while.

A nightly image of my c drive is created and uploaded as well for safety.

I have all my important studio projects syncing to google drive in real time.

And then I have a seedbox running torrents. I have a couple of 10tb server hard drives for storage.

What sort of upload speed you got?

I'll check when I'm up. It's 1000 megabit download.

Probably 50 then.

Come September you should get 100 up.

(unless you have the SMB plans which go up to 400 up for maybe $300-400 monthly)
