So much to download, but so little time!

I am totally frustrated with the Internet connection I have. My ISP BSNL dataone allows users to transfer unlimited for only 6 hours a day.

But I have lot to download! Check this screenshot. It’s just the part of the folder that I took the screenshot.

And this shows the complete picture. A total of 135 torrents waiting to get started!

Lol.. it will take more than 6 months to complete the downloads!!

Wait..
This is not all! I ask my friends to download as well. I only leech 1/2 CD stuffs only. 3 CD or any higher file size will be done by my friends. I asked my friend to do Lost season 1, which was almost 9gb, which would have taken 3 weeks to leech with my stupid connection.

Who told that you wont have anything to download after a few months with a “broadband” internet connection?

6 hrs a day shud be enuf… i leech around 650 mb in 8 hrs…. :mrgreen: :-P

#2 Ashwin on 02.08.06 at 10:24 am

6 hrs should be enough in case I have a 24mbps connection :P

Wow, you sure do like your movies, don’t you? Interesting choices, too, judging from the screenshot.
Well, I’ve got a BSNL connection too, and being a rabid movie fan myself(not as rabid as you, though), I agree that those measly six hours can be very frustrating.

#4 Ashwin on 02.08.06 at 11:24 am

Yeah, atleast they have provided with 7 hours so that we can leech a CD within a day without having to wait for 2am the next day and save the mental stress in case there is not enough peers for the torrent.

I can comfortably download one CD in a day as I get 45 Kbps+ always during my free hours.

I forgot to mention this, but are you aware of the relatively new rmvb format? A movie in that format is half the size of a normal divx/xvid movie, and there’s isn’t much of a difference in quality. Also, most of the recent dvdrips/screeners are available in rmvb, so it really saves time.

#7 Ashwin on 02.08.06 at 6:20 pm

I know abt the format. Did you see this post:

#12 multi on 02.09.06 at 10:53 pm

ashwin & shwetanshu can know how much u ppl download in 1 month ?
just curious .

#13 Ashwin on 02.09.06 at 11:34 pm

I transfer more than 20gb in a month.

525-575mb in 6hr/day.
So around 15-15.5gb d/l in a month. Add 1gb that we get. So 16.5gb + uploads = Around 20gb in a month :D

#14 Shwetanshu on 02.10.06 at 7:09 am

30 gb

#15 Riyaz Usman on 02.10.06 at 3:38 pm

I deleted about 50 torrents that are in queue for a long time, for the reason that there are no peers/seeders now. Damn BSNL. Why don’t they make atleast Sundays and PH free ?

BTW Me averages 20-25 GB PM.

#16 Ashwin on 02.10.06 at 4:37 pm

In the 150+ torrents that are waiting to get downloaded, I dont even know as to how much is dead. Me too periodically delete the torrents for want of peers.

I am not asking that much (as PH/Sundays free) but only 7hrs/day btw 1-8am.

#17 multi on 02.11.06 at 5:57 pm

offtopic, a valentine gift for bwt users, 11-18 feb total free download ,aah, fast leeching .

#18 Ashwin on 02.11.06 at 6:12 pm

Wow, so much time? Good for me! Can’t d/l much with my connection, still good for me!

#19 Who the hell is Ashwin » BSNL Sucks on 03.31.06 at 9:53 pm

[...] Another thing that was bothering me was, I had almost 300mb of data which is yet to be used in my entitled 1024mb. I almost thought that I would go waste. But it dint happen. I have a lot to download, almost 125 torrents in queue.. so was worried. [...]

#20 Prateek on 04.01.06 at 12:54 pm

Oh man .. almost same thing here ..
So much to download only 650mb a day

Kash mere paas 10mbps line hoti ..but then that also may still be not enough.. I would find more torrents.

During the dial-up speen was pathetic, in GPRS is was slow but good for surfing around 8-13 kB/s, & now in MTNL 256kbps Night Plan also life running slow at 28kB/s

I have put Vista Beta(5342) on download after 2 days only 21.6% completed. :(
Ateast will take 4 more days to complete.

I think its more than just human nature of getting what they dont have.

So many movies still on que to download!!

#21 Ashwin on 04.01.06 at 1:43 pm

^^
Yeah man.. I’am waiting for that unlimited plan or atleast increase in the (un)happy hours time.
