So I decided to go to singularity to test the new content, which I was very sceptical about. Started the 1.4 GB download but disconnected after 400 MB. When I restarted, the clever Download manager didn't manage anything: I restarted from scratch. I don't have unlimited download bandwith and such flawed design and service is unacceptable in 2009. Guess I will be putting on a very long skill for ApoGrind, just in case I don't log in for a very, very long time...

Yes! You can have my stuff! The first one to give me the author and historical importance of the following French Verse will get my fitted CNR :

"Les sanglots longs des violons de l'automne, bercent mon coeur d'une langueur monotone".

Wow, that was fast!! RUZE win the CNR, congratulation!

Australia in particular has Internet that is equal to that of a third world country thanks to our corrupt service providers who put zero effort into upgrading the arcanic systems they put in place decades ago and its taking it toll. We're forced to pay hundreds of dollars a month for limited bandwidth and ****ty unreliable service. If we had an actual choice in the matter we would of upgraded, not amount of whining or *****ing can change it due to the stupidity of our government allowing for a monopoly on the service provider market and left it that way for years before realizing what damage it did to the actual service. Hell using 56k over here is better value for money than using ADSL or Cable is. I pay 70 AUD a month for a fibre optic line that is probably equal to around T1 with horrid upload, its a decent speed but the problem is the horrible download limits that is 12 gb for the entire month 'on peak' (12 pm to 12 am) and 24 gb offpeak (12 am to 12pm). Share that amongst a house hold and you barely manage to not go over.

This is your problem. Get a real connection, you live in 2009!

Read the whole thread before posting.

The op more than likely lives in part of Europe or any Country which isn't America, and as such has to use a service provider that places a fair usage policy on their service.

I know, shock and horror that in 2009 there are still limits imposed by companies that are run for profit before service.

I get 95 gigs a month, upload included. with the 10mbit connection, that means I can download at full capacity for less than 1 day before I am over limit.

---

And what the hell can you legally find that amounts to 95GB a day?

Heck - even illegal downloading would be hard pressed to need going on for 2.8TB a month!

If you even close to 95GB each month then you need to learn how to use the Internet in a responsible way. People like you are the ones causing problems for everyone else.

95 gigs is only 3 bluray movies its very easy to dload over 100 gigs a day.

---

a)Where do you find these bluray movies to download legally?
b)How do you find time to watch 3 movies a day?

In point of fact you don't need to download the DVD. You could download a lower bandwidth copy and you'd probably not tell the difference. HD is typically transmitted at less than 20Mb/s at a quality that most people would be more than happy with. I record HD movies on my PC thanks to a satellite tuner and it's rare for a movie to to reach 10GB.

Just because you and your friends lack the knowledge of how to encode movies in an efficient way is a poor excuse for clogging up the global internet with your bloated files. Given that most of them are probably illegally obtained and distributed it's even worse.

I live in europe my isp has a fair use policy they sent me a letter complaining about my downloading 30 gig in one day, i phoned them up and told them i wanted to end my service as having a 20mb connection and only a 30 gig a month usage was crap they apologised and i havent had a letter since i regularly dload over 100 gig a month now :)

---

I have a 3gb limit between 4pm and 10pm (note, prime time). My connection is Virgin 20mb which relates to approx 25 minutes before I go over. I complained to my ISP about it and their response was "Tough". My problem is that I don't have a BT line so I can't go to ADSL unless I fork out the 150 UKP connection charge just for a phone line from BT. Having dealt with BT before, I know they'll railroad me into a contract which they will then bill me 200 UKP for broken contract when I sign up with another ISP. I've been down that road before and I'm still fighting with BT about it a year and a half later with OFTEL and others involved.

Virgin recently sent me a survey asking me if I would recommend them to a friend, I promtly told them I wouldn't even recommend them to my worst enemy.

The Client can be torrented so what's the problem

---

95+ hrs to download may be a little itsy bitsy problem. Especially 30 seconds after download completes and you find the download is corrupted.

Things like that create newspaper headlines with words like 'massacre' in them.
