And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I’d get this far! But that electricity bill’s gonna sting…
It’s good to give back to the community.
EDIT: To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material…
So what he pays them for the data and they can’t see if he is doing anything illegal. Just because i am curious did you really expect them to molatile him/her. Two or three games with teir dlc is about or over 1 tb anyways.
Downloading, yeah. Uploading, no. Most ‘normal’ folks aren’t uploading terabytes of data.
People work from home using vpns. That’s usually what they assume you’re using it for. That or a home business.
I’m in this group. I happen to do CAD modeling and have to regularly sync 10GB+ models over WAN, so large spikes or even constant uploading streams are not unusual for me.
Right, I’m not disagreeing with you there. Shit, I use a VPN for work as well. I’m not uploading terabytes of data. Downloading, maybe, but I’m not running any servers at home.
All I’m saying is that using that much upload bandwidth, regardless of what’s being uploading, might throw up some red flags at OP’s ISP. They might force OP onto a business plan.
Oh yeah, for sure. Does any ISP have unlimited upload though? I used to work for one. You’d have to go to business regardless because of the cap, from my experience.
Edit: wooooooh nevermind, I didn’t even know other ISP’s dared give unlimited upload without a business acount. I will admit though, nothing is truly “unlimited”.
Some are cool with it if you just let them know you’re gonna be uploading a lot, but yeah. Most are gonna put a stop to it eventually.

Over six days, that’s about two megabytes per second, so 16mbit/sec. Residential plans are often 25 or 35 mbit/sec in the US on cable.
A similar traffic pattern might be a 4k security camera, typically 10mbit/sec, and likely over a VPN.
