This. I mean, between all my HDDs, I have 1 TB of capacity, and I'm 90% full. Next time NCIX runs a sale I'm picking up another 500 GB WD, and then I'm going to have to get a NAS to extend any further.

I'm like a one-man wayback machine. I don't delete things. I just shuffle them.

My torrents are capping at my maximum downstream speed. In addition, my upstream is disproportionately low compared to my upstream. Therefore, when I'm downloading, the internet gets slow.

If you are using this for anime, I swear I'm going to hunt you down and hurt you. Probably by taking all your hardrrives and forcing you to use a measly 18 gig one.

However, it would make sense if the internet's bandwidth ran dry because of anime, thus making yet another crime against humanity that's come about from anime.

Replace anime with porn and you'll have reality facing at you.

I don't know. How much porn does any one person need? One of my friends owns 12 harddrives, approximately 6 which are full of anime. All the shows are going to be different and offer something unique, whereas porn is all going to be pretty similar and does not lend itself to marathon sessions.

Porn can be pretty creative.... trust me...

You can have 12 60gb hd's full of japanese porn without a single one being like eachother

and i dont mean that in a good way

If it were porn, than I'd almost admire him. Unless it's the really weird stuff. Then, not so much. And if it were hentai, well, then he'd live with only a 28k modem for the rest of his days.

I know this is late, but I wanted to reply to this.


With US law, it's ambiguous, because Congress hasn't kept up with technology. That's where the Net Neutrality issue comes into play, but it also means that despite big corporations like Comcast and Verizon not giving people the product they pay for, there isn't actually a law that says "You guys have to actually supply the full, unhindered 3Mbps you promise." Which leaves a lot of room for old, fat, white guys to look at a fascinating wall while a kid in a suit supplies them with Grant-printed pocket squares.

...not all of it is porn.

Seriously though, I have ~200 GB of iso's, 125 GB of installed programs, ~50 GB of unsorted downloads, 34 GB of music, ~400 GB of videos, and about 50 GB in miscellany. I recently took 100 GB off by burning stuff onto DVDs, though, so that freed up a hefty chunk of space.

Oh, and 20 GB for Windows. That gets it's own partition.

Bluestar, I must say, that is sad to hear. I'm not exactly satisfied with my price/performance ratio, but I can say that Shaw never skimps on it's service. I did have an abysmally slow connection a while back, but it was a modem error, and they just showed up and replaced it for me.

EDIT: FYI, a good number of my vids are in 720p, so about 1.07 GB per 43-minute episode.
