On 20mb you can download 7 GB in the day before you get throttled and 3.5 GB in the evening before they throttle.
and the second you go over them thresholds they throttle.

for the avrage joe it is ok but i download 8GB files at a time.

What discs do you use? Aone plus work well for me, not a single bad burn, and they are very cheap .
