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've already said about this over in the HL2 on Dial Up? Thread.

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.
