My download folder just hit 4 GIGS!! What about yours?

[Schui]

6 gb in total downloaded over a 56k dialup. (over 2 years or so)

1.2 is MP3's.
800mb is Vids (funny clips etc)
900mb images / wavs' etc
2.5 gb software, demos, cheats, hacks, patches, etc
500mb of utils, and a few ghost images (I know, not downloaded, but that's where the space has gone..!)

I always download at work, dump onto x drive, and then download at home, saves wasting time browsing for what your after..

Got it!....There is a dude I know that works at and ISP who has a couple of 40GB Seagate Cuda's filled to the brim, all with MP3's.

He could make your download collection look like Monopoly money!

Not a bad effort at all!

I have kept almost EVERYTHING i have ever downloaded or created on my PC since my first 286 I have had one HDD crash and lost everything but since then I have accumulated about 80 gigs of stuff. I don't want to burn stuff to CDR because it's much much easier to visit the archive HDD than to hunt through piles of CDs looking for Winzip 8. When I run out of ro0m I buy another HDD. I have everything backed up on CDR though because I'd be pretty homicidal if I lost it all.

Oh yeah and that's all through a 56k connection, on a shared household phone line! No wonder I have no friends!! No actually that's why I got myself a mobile. The rest of my family have no friends or life... Oooohahahahahahaaaa!

Those are some pretty big numbers. Mine probably seems insignificant. But, I think filling 40gigs in one month is bad. Worst part is I don't even know what I dl'ed [other than in general.]

Going from 56k to DSL didn't help. After DSL the hard drivs fill up like an unatended litter box...

[cyberhh]

I have 20+ cd's of porn, ah I mean, educational videos showing the mating habits of .... 26 gb of MP3's, 4gb of un burned ahem.. educational videos, 15gb or so of backup software (mostly trialware) and several gigs of text files, all in all about 60gb worth of downloads. I downloaded 12 gb last week alone.

About

86 cdr's of nice quality anime *guess that makes me an anime otaku!*
51 cdr's of movies (err...nevermind)
13 cdr's of mp3's
150 cdr's of "evaluation programs"

Yes I know I should feel bad, but I just can't bring myself to stop DL'ing everything!

Well... lessee...

7 PCs at an average 16 GB per PC, = 112 GB

Plus, 450 or so CD-Rs and CD-RWs (650 MB x 450 = 292 GB or so)

So, 112 GB + 292 GB = 404 GB or so

I do have cable service, and often download full ISO images of Linux, etc. I also have 5 older PCs (not included in above listings) that I use to play older DOS games that won't work right under Win 9x, and they are also for hacking around, testing, playing MP3's, whatever. I am also going to build a P-200 MMX machine with an old Pack Bell desktop case that I got for free to play MP3's, and control a mobile entertainment system for my conversion van (TV, VCR, DVD, stereo, etc. Maybe play a few games with it when parked, too... thinking about doing a wireless dial-up thing via cell phone for Internet usage as well, but unsure how to implement that).

Damn, I just realised... I really have too many computers! No wonder I don't have any room in this house! :-)

LOL
