It would be interesting to do this topic in 10 years time and compare them..... it will probably be somet like.... "oh yeah i downloaded 42 gig the other night"!!!!!

OK, so it's only nine years, but still

The biggest download I've ever made must be somewhere in the 10GB area, but I probably don't download as much as a lot of people do. So, did anyone dl 42GB the other night?

And there was another interesting post:

Heh heh heh..... I wonder if all we would see will be pages that are 84meg in size or something so it takes equaly long to download them!!!

If you're still talking about "in 10 years time" rather than in 100, then the answer is no, Mr person from days of yore. Internet pages download nice and quickly

Also, this topic isn't spamming. Honest

Probably ... 4 GB (normal download w/o torrent) Torrent around the 10-15 GB mark somewhere in there.

(Unless the SC2 Beta would count as a Torrent there as it would be 12.4 GB >.>)

I assume anything you download would count...

80 gigs last year, FLACs of every piece Beethoven ever wrote performed by the London Philharmonic.

"What's the largest download you've ever made?"

Not really a download, but I'm reminded of nikfrozty's insanely illegal avatar

The one that showed the entire Omnislash scene from Advent Children Complete. I remember trying to load a thread in which he had posted six times. With that crazy avatar, I was dealing with at least 9TB there (that's >9000 gigs).

Sorry for making fun of you, nikfrozty

I simply had to bring it up here

Please, Try not to laugh at my nerdiness. But I downloaded a 90 GiG compilation of Dragonball, the entire series. I haven't even made it past watching the entire first season yet! lol

It took like two weeks on my on/off internet connection. But still. Huge file.

I downloaded all 6 or 7 seasons of Digimon too(like 40GiG)... but I only wanted the first season... I swear!

Furzball · « **Reply #14 on:** 2010-07-24 14:16:06 »

(If no one gets this reference I will slap you)

The Seer of Shadows · « **Reply #15 on:** 2010-07-24 15:04:07 »

Didn't figure out the reference, so I googled it. You geek

I don't keep track of my downloads, but I don't think I've ever downloaded anything larger than 2GB. I don't download much, I guess...

Furzball · « **Reply #16 on:** 2010-07-24 18:08:16 »

Well, I didn't download it but I saw the torrent. One of the times pirate bay was thinking it might be shut down someone threw all the torrents into one big torrent. Plus all the stuff to remake the pirate bay site. So....yeah... biggest torrent I seen ever.

Yep, all the movies, remastered, Tri audio.

Covarr · « **Reply #20 on:** 2010-07-25 03:33:21 »

Only about 10GB. It was Mass Effect, when Steam put it on sale.

I don't even really like the game.
