youtube is counting against you
So I live in the backwoods of nowhere town and have satellite net, and it's HughesNet. Well I only get ing 350 megs a day to download. And I passed it already so once they get that picture I'll be on a 24 hour ban type thing for violating the "Fair Act Policy".
So what the ? I use FF and am trying to figure out what ing made me go passed 350megs? I haven't downloaded , all do is youtube and I don't download porn believe it or not.
Does Firefox have a download tracker or some ? Cause if youtube is counting against my limit I am ed.

I should have ing known that.
But on the phone they said browsing the internet does not count against me only when I download files and such. So it threw me off.
Yep, Youtube is what is getting you. Even streaming video has to download a temporary cache to store the buffered movie, so a few things on Youtube will probably get you over the 350 limit quick.So I live in the backwoods of nowhere town and have satellite net, and it's HughesNet.

Well I need something to track it... if it even exists.
..it said I used 10.96MB between 12-1 and all I have done is trade some emails and browse Spurstalk. So what the ing .
Sigs.
BTW, youtube will go over 350MB quick; video is huge. Say you watch a 3 minute music video on youtube: you've then used about 20-25MB of your bandwidth to watch that.
350MB/day is pretty ridiculous for this day and age. Drop your ISP ASAP.
This is the only ISP that will go out here so I can't switch.
And what's sigs mean?
Signatures and other images posted on the forum.
Yeah, go to your control panel and turn off sigs. Also, stay out of threads that you know are picture intensive like that cat thing that Manny started. THose also cache to your system after download.
Oh oh yeah yeah that's why I never delete my ing cookies unless I'm in the free period which is 2-5 am and even then .. yeah doesn't help much and you can't let you cookies just add up for weeks and weeks. You could buttt ehh.
What's this I hear about an ATT internet thing I can plug into my laptop? I don't even know what they are called LMAO.
Some people here have sigs that are 50+ MB (all animated GIFs).
I'm screwed on HughesNet it was a 2 year contract.
So much for getting an ATT wireless usb thingy and just adding that 60 a month unlimited to my ATT cell.
.
You signed a contract with a 350 MB/day limit?
NO.
My uncle did. We live in the boondocks and that's the only ISP that was available unless it was dialup and ... dialup is dialup so he signed the contract, and told me I had to split the bill with him afterwards, which is 30 bucks a month to me.
SO .. blah. I would feel like an asshole if I copped out on him.
why don't yall split the bill to get out of the contract?
Cause he has his desktop at his house, and I am routed to my laptop next door.
It's his internets toooooo
Browse the forum using the default style (it's a little less data), turn off sigs, pictures and avatars in your control panel. That's all you can do for the forum.
Everything you watch on the web counts against your limit (even e-mails - although the messages themselves are very small, it's the attachments that can be a problem), because your browser, flash player, media player... can't display/show it if it doesn't get/travel to you first.
So, your uncle's usage is included in the 350MB/day limit, too? You are really hosed.
You can't renogiate the contract to increase the limit?
Yeah if we fork over another 40 bucks a month the usage will move up to 700mb a day.
Nay I say nayyy! I've already accepted my defeat. Once it hits midnight the FAP goes into action and will not let up for 24 hours on the dot.
Holy . $60 a month for 350 MB is . You'd be better off on dialup.
That is insane. And it sounds like they're charging that to people who are least likely to be able to afford it.
A Sprint Wireless account, while probably slower, would only run you $60 a month for unlimited downloads.
Wouldn't surprise me.
I was told the same thing with AT&T and that it's unlimited as well.
Yeah, two people trying to run off a 350 MB/day limit is like trying to feed two tigers a hamburger.
You could fill that quota going through a few threads around this place if you weren't careful.
Yeah, HughesNet is horrible. The cap is ridiculous. You should of have gone with a sprint mobile broadband card. They are pretty fast and are like 60 bucks a month. At first there was no cap on them, but start in a week or two, there will be a 5 GB cap per month.
