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.
