Hard Drive Woes

[Raelynn]

The ugly side of recovering from a hard drive bust:
This landed in my inbox this morning:unsure:

The fact of the matter is this: Yeah, I've hit my connection pretty hard since recovering on Friday. There was a lot of things, typicall game-related, I never bothered to transfer over and had to download again from the respective suppliers. This stuff includes:

Galactic Civilizations II
Half Life 2, + Episode 1
Sin Episodes: Emergence
God Know How Much Guild Wars Related Files. I think that capped out at about 120 megs.
And other stuff™, drivers, Windows Update (No time to slipstream an install disk), and whatnot.

So since Friday, I have downloaded a fair amount of giggage. Probably about two or three gigs or so. When I first started with this ISP, there was a two gig monthly cap which was later removed not long after I signed up, so I suppose their grievence with me is pretty justified.

Hey, at least they remember me, right?:w00t:

Kinda funny that since I picked up my new 300gig drive about 2 weeks ago, I've downloaded over 13 gigs, and I haven't seen anything like that (yet...). Some 2 gigs of that was the first day and a half. I have heard that Comcast does cause problems when you do this kind of thing, so I'm slowing the downloads a bit for now.
