New to the usenet scene.. Has anyone ever had any hassle from Sky due to the amount they're downloading?

See I'm on their unlimited service and it says there's no usage caps.. But I've just looked at my hard drive and it seems I've downloaded 400gb in a week.. I'll maybe give it a rest for a bit..

What's the point out of interest? Doubt you've watched 400gb of stuff in a week.

Using Sickbeard when you add a show it adds the entire back catalogue to your download queue.. So it just downloads everything at once for your to watch later.

I downloaded loads and had no problem.
You're a bit late to the party though? Almost everything useful has shut down.

Fair enough, was just curious.

Yeah I noticed that.. However I've still managed to get everything I've been looking for so it's not been too bad.

Depends Brett really, the more your able to download the larger the files you would download.
I currently have a Infinity connection which records 75/80meg most days, becuase i can download 10/12 times quicker than i could previously i donwload files that are 10/12 times bigger, some untouched blurrays etc at 30/40GB

Yeah that's a fair point, only on 8MB here so I'd shy away from a 40GB download

Been with Sky for years, and had Fibre with them for almost a year now, can download 100's of GB without a problem. Main reason I'm with Sky, as they don't have any limits or traffic shaping

I know my father in law has Sky (which works intermittently I must admit), he still torrents, which I have told him to stop, but nevertheless he has never heard anything either

Been with Sky for just over a year now with no problem, We switched to Sky from virgin media and will never look back!
Most of the family have Sky also and have no problem.
