Usually between 2-3TB. My ISP has a 4TB soft cap. I've hit that a few times

This month thus far, 31tb.
Got to be a hoarder, or a subcontractor for the WayBack Machine.
One time doubled that in a single night redownloading my steam library
I know, that's why I'm asking.
What's your number M8?
About 10TiB/mo, mostly seeding
Thank you for using TiB.
Just over 8 tb since yesterday, just on getting my trove (RPG) of Linux isos
I rarely go over 1TB per month at home. It's usually closer to 500GB. My seedbox goes through several TB per month with all of those Linux ISOs though.
I try to hit 15TB/mo automatically fetching the latest Linux ISOs for ratio. I paid for 20TB so I'm gonna use it!
Only about .5-1TB/mo personally.
I continue to be astonished at how much data people are getting through.
Am I technogrouch for continuing to watch video at no more than 1080p?
My ISP does not have a data cap or anything like that so I pay no attention to that. What are you doing that you only use that much?
Not much clearly
800 - 900 GB per month, 2 adults and 2 minors. Moderate downloading from usenet, all services local, only reachable using wireguard.
Sounds like us, ta
5-9TB a month
Over the last 6 months have averaged 200gb per day with a peak of 2.4tb in one day
My ISP doesn't cap, so I never really noticed/checked. If I had to swag, I'd say 300 gb to 500 gb just depending on what's going on. A large majority of that is streaming music from Navidrome on a daily basis. Just one user. No mass downloading of Linux ISOs.
Oh, you sweet summer child.
Depends on what you're doing.
I'm at around 1-2 TB per month, so you clearly have some room for improvement there xD
