  • How Much Warez do you download everyday?

i have a 512k DSL terranet connection.
i remember when DSL came out i had gotten the connection in the first 3-4 weeks and i would download 2-2.7GB EVERY NIGHT. Then slowly it got less and less and now im lucky if i can get 800mb in one night.

i have a friend in shoueifat where DSL was unavailable (or atleast double speed and unlimited night traffic wasnt available) till 8 months after i had my connection. But as soon as he got it he was able to download also 2-2.7gb per night and till now that hasnt decreased (its been more than a year)

to him ma ka 2anno fi bandwidth shortage in lebanon. I think its coz central shoueifat doesnt have as much pressure as central beirut.

His DSL connection is also 512k but he is IDM (though people i know with idm in beirut are crying).

Interestingly enough i once got a rapidshare premium account and downloaded a 2GB file in 6 hours 58 minutes from 12am to 7am (just before unlimited night ends)

But most warez i need (which is scene for best quality and latest release) requires torrent download. The site i use is the same as the one my friend uses its torrentleech.org has AMAZING seed peer ratio and download speeds.

so right now, 0.8GB per night, that's my number.

how much do you guys download everyday?
If you're willing to pay a bit more money, you can always get a newsgroup subscription, and download the latest 0day warez from newsgroups.. its way much more faster than torrents.. and don't require so many opened sessions.


I use to download like 2 GB a night too when i got my dsl like 2 years ago.. but now after cyberia introduced their new shitty FUP... i dont download anything anymore ... maybe just 200mbs a week or so..
yeah terranet had a FAP (fair access policy) instituted like 10 months ago that said after 12GB downloaded (during unlimited night) you drop a priortiy level and it stays dropped until a week after the next connection refill (next month).

when they first applied it thats when i started going from 2GB a night to 1.2 or less per night.

It would be slower after the 12GB were used but i would still see speeds of 20-32KB\s in peak times.

Now i see 0 to 5 KB\s (on p2p) in peak times
well i've got a sodetel 256 k , i had a 1Gb but i switched to that because its the max DSL Unlimited connection available, sometimesi leave it the whole day to download stuff, and its actually not that bad @ downloading GBs in a matter of several hours.
I rarely download warez, some music. I download games from my steam account which take days on my connection.
But yes i am able to download as much as 1.2 gb in 7 hours (12am to 7am) on a full speed 512k
imadthemad, I have been with terranet for over 2 years, you described excatly what happened to me, However, sometimes after 4 am my speed max out at 118k.
yeah after 4am my speed maxes out too i posted a pic on another thread.
the wierd thing is that from 12am to 4am i get great HTTP downloadspeeds (downloaded alot of stuff from microsoft.com and ftp sites) at around 50-90KB\s
so its not that they shutdown my connection, but they shutdown torrent connections. i dont know if its just torrents or p2p alltogether, which is why i am trying newsgroup warez.
I just started a giganews 14 day free trial for 1$. If terranet doesnt cap newsgroup downloads i might keep the account.

I have had a newsgroup account for the last 7 years, terranet never blocked or throttled my downloads from the news groups so far. However, My newsgroup offers http and nntp using many ports and SSL, i prefer http. Good luck.

You would still get shaped if you violate their fair usage police, right?
I'm lucky if I can download a single episode of the series that I watch with a 350MB, in the next day I get FUP'ed by cyberia, I stopped downloading till i get the sodetel account.

What are newsgroups ?? like usenet ? can anyone explain how do they work ?
"How Much Warez do you download everday?"


In Lebanon? well probably only a few songs(if i feel like it). being an Ogero User, it doesn't matter if it's Warez or Legal stuff, Eitherways it's gotta Nuke my Overusage Bill(3GB/month pfft -.-) (theoratically with a 256kbps account you can finish the limit in 1.13Days(non-stop))

In Poland, when i got the time, I go Full Throttle, Songs, Videos, Games, Blu-Ray quality Content, eh u name it... probably like 5-10GBs if i ain't searching for much.. but for many Games, i can reach 30-60GB/Day (with a 10mbps(and that's below E.U standards; people with 100Mbps Fiber are laughing) you can download non-stop a MAX of 105GB/day)

sorry for the complaintive tone, but i just find it silly that what i'm allowed to download here a month, i can finish there in 41minutes :/

we have a max connection in lebanon of 2 GB , well let's say you've got a 512k which is a quarter of the max ammount,a 512k downloads 90kb/sec
@ a steady state, so 90 x 60 x 60 = about 324,000 / hours lets say its not that steady and it does 300,000 kb/h that is 300 mb /h, so its about 7,200 mb/ day or 7.2 GB / day , so that is about the max of what he mentioned with just the availability of a 512k.

But to be honest the actual rate of a 512k in lebanon is about 60kb/s average, still its a 5GB/day, but guess heve got a 1 GB. =]
When I'm using the idm mobi I'm able of downloading 2 - 2.7gb from 12a.m till 8a.m till now, and yeah i"m saying the truth because in my region their's not much pressure on it so it's like always about 1mb speed.
Here are some of my old test:




You can also see that also at the unlimited night time which is at 12a.m it stayed 1mb speed.

prolly dubai or 5aleej...or canada..
i am sharing my torrentleech account with a friend who is in canada.
i watch what he;s downloaded and sometimes i trace on the snatchlist my items versus his.
Out of the 100 items showing on the snatchlist i see only 3 or 4 of my downloads scattered and the rest all him.

and everything i download is in dvdrip xvid (best size for good quality). He downloads DVD-R (4.5gb tho i tell him 3al fade) and HDTVx264...

the account has 2.1TB downloaded on it (during 2 years). Maybe 0.5 is mine.

hey man what newsgroup provider do you use? i am using giganews now. I was able to download full throttle starting 2am exactly (110KB\s constant)
from 11 to 2 it was around 40KB\s average (which is seriously not bad)

On a side note when SSL is turned off download speed shrinks the same as torrents (becomes 2KB\s) but when SSL is on i get 100KB\s which goes down to 10KB\s and heik it keeps playing till 2am.

im using newsleecher the speed monitor shows it all pretty acceptable results.
Before today i had no idea what newsgroup was now im into a whole different source of warez :P

but im not sure 13$ a month is worth it coz a rapidshare account is 8$ a month and rapidshare has a great variety of files as well...

What are newsgroups ?? like usenet ? can anyone explain how do they work ?
ok like i said i just learned about newsgroups today but this is what i understood.
Its a file sharing protocol where many users can upload files once onto some kind of usenet pool
and i say pool because its not exactly a server from what i understood.
this pool of information is made available to users much like p2p pool of information (like limewire when users hosting a file are online) EXCEPT unlike p2p, the owners or the people who have the content on their hard disks are companies with dedicated service.
Therefore unlike p2p where the aim is to share, the usenet newsgroup aim is to leech more than share.
Uploaders who upload content only upload it ONCE to the server\pool, and then the server allows users to download it at max bandwidth as many times as you want.
In that sense actually newsgroup is not at all different from rapidshare and megaupload and such sites. Except that megaupload and rapidshare etc... are different servers hosting different content (data pools), whereas it seems all newsgroup servers host the same content (which is the usenet data pool)

what you pay for is the access to these servers owning this pool of data. the differences between different services (like giganews vs newsleech and others) being how much each package costs and how long they keep files on their servers (so how old the warez u will find is)

i was shocked today at how much information is on usenet newsgroup. You will drown searching for what you want to download unless u use a search engine like http://www.nzbclub.com/
