I have stopped downloading as much as I used to as the hard drives were getting out of control, 6 terrabytes in my pc full with hardly any space left and 9 terrabytes of hard drives filled with bluerays and sitcom shows.

If I were to buy a couple of hard drives I would have them filled in a month or so, so I stopped buying them

likewise, about 15TB over 4 networked machines + 3 laptops. i gutted my big rig and have 13 HDDs varying in size from 500GB to 80GB sitting beside my desk. replaced them with a 60GB SSD and 2x2TB hitachis. deleted a shedload of tv series and avi rips. i have managed to fill about 3TB so far. i have 1 SATA connection left on the motherboard, but Overclockers are doing some cheap 4 port SATA PCI cards. with 2TB drive now £45 I can see myself having the same sort of space again if not more.

Do you pay for Sky TV? I'm just trying to work out how you manage to watch any of this?

yes jack i do. Full package in HD of course. I set myself a target of sitting down to watch one movie a night. i might watch more than one a day at the weekend. Currently working my way through the 2nd series of The Vampire Diaries as well as the 4th series of Chuck. The IMDB Top 250 has a lot to answer for as well.

You need to get out more. Stealing shouldn't be your hobby, it's just not good. All the latest titles make it to TV in the end, what's the rush.

Can't really blame them for mentioning it I reckon.

Its is really annoying to get a sub standard service if it is due to unfairly large downloads.

Don't really know what this has got to do with a a virgin media post, but

Perhaps getting splash back from the toilet brush after "clean up" operations.

To be fair it has nothing to do with Virgin and everything to do with me still not having internet access in the house.
