Download. A lot. In a very short time. 'Nuff said.


...or, you could run a dedicated FTP server on your box, and share with the rest of us.

I'm not sure if Cogent has changed their prices at all but I know a while back you could get a 100mbps connection for the cost of a T1 line.

They have their GigE product which would be interesting to see what it's priced at.

And for what someone could do with a gigabit connection. Download all the porn available on the internet of course, who else besides a multi-national corporation would need that bandwith now .

Do not underestimate the amount of pr0n on the internet. That kind of bandwidth would be good for someone trying to make people on slower internet connections feel bad.
