Heh. Sounds like me. I read several sites, check email all the time and get
to the end of the month to find I've only done 200Mb or something. So in
the last few days I apt-get like mad and find a CD image. Except they
usually come off gamearena so are free anyway.

Maybe it's online gaming that chews the bandwidth so much?
