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.
I know, that's why I'm asking.
What's your number M8?
About 10TiB/mo, mostly seeding
Thank you for using TiB.
One time doubled that in a single night redownloading my steam library
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.
Just over 8 tb since yesterday, just on getting my trove (RPG) of Linux isos
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
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?
even basic fullhd can pull several gigs per hour, per stream.
my adopted dad used to hit their old 8gb per month jetpak quota in one weekend just refreshing a local auction site (they don't stream or so much other than email and banking at home otherwise)
Over the last 6 months have averaged 200gb per day with a peak of 2.4tb in one day
5-9TB a month
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
