I have heard representations from supposedly customers the Super plan is good for maxing out your speed ie no filters placed on P2P, so this only leaves contention which, possibly, could slow downloads during off-peak. I would like to get to the truth.

If you are on the 'Super 150Gig' I am curious to hear whether or not YOU'RE getting a smooth run of these gigs. To my knowledge TPG have provided a 3:00-9:00am(6 Hours) time-slot for off-peak including 110GB. I explore the same question here that I have posed to subscribers elsewhere.

What's the maximum data you've achieved on a single night using off-peak ?

I don't use P2P as I'd prefer Usenet, and I max out my link every time. TPG is great value for me.

I'm on the original Super plan with off peak 1am – 7am

i miss the 'I want a Pony' option in these polls..

So you people interested in the unlimited plan tpg has yet to offer probably do a lot of data overnight...... you may now scroll to the top of the screen and record your vote

While i've probably have downloaded 30+gb overnight, but probably max out at 15+gb with just using torrent

Ah yes, the torrent the speed is not so good

where is the 25 gig option?

grrr

30GB

I can do 30GB in only a few hours easy if you download from a Usenet client.

I'm finding torrent speeds are OK, that the quality of the torrent is the only real limitation. I have no trouble getting 1.2 – 1.4MB/s collectively, and I regularly see individual torrents running between 350KB/s and 900KB/s

I have to say that the most I downloaded off-peak (torrents only) is bit over 15gb too, though if I had a reason, I reckon I could download a bit over 20gb off-peak via bit torrent if I really had to

i call bullshit on anyone that clicked 30GB+ with torrent

Trickle, trickle, trickle. It doesn't really matter how fast it goes when it goes 24hrs a day (which it does).

With usenet you could get close to 30gb in the 6hrs.

downloaded 10gb a few times. but normally around 6gb in 6 hours.(3am to 9am)

I downloaded 33gb in one night from private torrents, and 27gb the next night from the same private torrent server. I have never had problems with private torrent speeds on TPG. Web browsing, HTTP downloads and FTP downloads on the other hand....

~14GB done by 4 HD torrent packs on a private site during the night.

Flashget with Rapidshare is ur friend
done crazy amount of download when u mix them both together

I could 30gb if I could get my sync up a tad. I did that at 13mb.

Around 5GBs I think. :<

EDIT: ^Stop making me jealous xboxnorm. I hate you! :>

ive always been a torrent man myself, and I get around 3GB a night, is there a guide somewhere that can teach me how to use usenet

Usenet is pretty simple . You just need to pay for it , if you setup torrent downloaders then it's no different really.

I just use Alt.Binz for the downloader and Astraweb for the service. It was 110GB for about AUD $26 but our dollar is going down everyday so its proberly almost $30 now Downloading somthing now thats 4GB at 1600'ish kb/s and it'll be done in about 30mins.

2.3 GB but that's mainly due to the quality (and number) of torrents I was downloading...

I also have backups from work running but they don't take up much quota to update themselves...

The best torrent speeds I've ever seen have come from Linux torrents... 900KB/s nearing 1 MB/s... not so legal torrents have never come anywhere near that...
