I dont think you can its generally left to the WRT routers (i have the WRT54GS V1 Arguably the best

well worth tracking down in german).

Tomato is bloody fantasmical though, and today lifehacker even blogged about how to use the tomato scripting and ad block to block ad's at router level over your whole network, i haven't done this yet i dont have much need to, but it is undeniably cool.

Limits would do me no good. I've uploaded 32GB in the last 2 days

I know the feeling, though I don't do that very often.

What ISP/connection are you using to abuse the internet like that?

Total downloaded on the account is around 4.5TB now

Do ISP's not go, "hmmmmm that bugger is downloading a lot" and check it?

I've only downloaded about 300GB since january.

Well I'm on Virgin cable who don't do download limits but rather limit during certain periods. From 10am to 3pm I can download 6GB and from 4pm to 9pm, 3GB. If I go over these limits then my speed goes from 20Mb to 5Mb for five hours.

TBH it's easy enough to just schedule downloads overnight to avoid these limits and, as I've said before, I'd much rather have this system than a hard limit on how much I can download per month.

Many have complained about how Virgin are limiting in this way and how other ISPs don't have any limits at all but I can still download over 130GB per day and around 4TB per month and I doubt many of these "unlimited" ISPs would let that pass without tapping you on the shoulder, regardless of what their T&Cs say.

If you're asking whether they'd be curious as to what I was downloading and check the content, then they can't as all my connections to Giganews are SSL encrypted so the ISP couldn't see what I was downloading even if they wanted to.

Same as me, apart from I'm on the 10Mb package. Also, it's now 4-10pm for me for some reason
