So if you have good self-control or just download lots, then the torrent plan is the best but if you have a family and don't want to blow the budget then the managed option will suit you well.

727042 2008-12-09 14:00:00 I guess if I can find ways to schedule my downloads for the right hours, Xnet's torrent plan would be a good choice.

There are several download managers that offer those sorts of features, but I'm not sure about ones that can handle Megaupload and Rapidshare type links.

727043 2008-12-09 19:55:00 MegaUpload have the MegaUpload manager which does just that.

And they cap you pretty much instantly, unlike Vodafone / Ihug who I could sometimes get away with a day or two, upto a week with going over the cap before they slowed me ... :p
