A lot of the time, I'm downloading a list of movies while I am
sleeping. That's when I do most of my downloading. I use download
helper. Sometimes it can download for several hours. There are times
when I nap and when I wake up, it is still downloading. ;-) I do the
same when I leave to go to town too.

I don't know how to limit that. Still, I have a really slow upload
speed. While I wouldn't want to lose some of it, it also would be a lot
of trouble given the large volume of data. I'd much prefer something
local and much faster. Now for my camera pics, that could be a option.
Much less data and lots more important too. I'm assuming this is what
you are talking about?

I'm trying to figure out just how much this would cost here. o_O Just
for my pics tho.
