18 A lot of the time, I'm downloading a list of movies while I am
19 sleeping. That's when I do most of my downloading. I use download
20 helper. Sometimes it can download for several hours. There are times
21 when I nap and when I wake up, it is still downloading. ;-) I do the
22 same when I leave to go to town too.

38 I don't know how to limit that. Still, I have a really slow upload
39 speed. While I wouldn't want to lose some of it, it also would be a lot
40 of trouble given the large volume of data. I'd much prefer something
41 local and much faster. Now for my camera pics, that could be a option.
42 Much less data and lots more important too. I'm assuming this is what
43 you are talking about?

48 for my pics tho.
