Yep so what if the top 1% of users get booted? That leaves vastly more bandwidth for the rest of us. 500 GB is nearly 17 GB a DAY. WTF is anyone doing that they use that much bandwidth EVERYDAY?
Its called stealing, and the people on this website seem to think its ok to do. They even disguise it by calling it "copyright infringement", as if that makes it any better.
Why do you assume just because someone can use 17GB a day that they are breaking the law? I do 10GB a day worth of traffic and I'm certainly not breaking the law.

[root@crash ~]# ./bw.sh -g
1524.67GB in 152 days (10.03GB per day)

Are you suggesting that your traffic is representative of the overwhelming majority of high bandwidth users?

Amazingly, some people simply use a lot of bandwidth. They pay for their connection, why should they have to pay more simply because they actually want to USE it?

If you only use your 6 MB/s connection to check your email and browse ebay, then whatever, but some people, like me, use it for other things, like downloading (and no, not downloading stuff the NAZIAA will sue over).
