Whoa! Stuff to watch out for when daughter returns home! - GoFuckYourself.com

SilentKnight · 02-05-2013, 06:29 PM

Towards the end of last month our IP notified us by email that we were approaching our monthly bandwidth cap of 90gb (we were at 85%) - combined D/Ls and U/Ls.

I freaked - since usually our monthly barely approaches 50% of our cap.

So we start investigating.

We checked the daily stats and saw several days in a row with up to 3gb/day uploads. Normally our uploads are extremely low - just a few hundred meg (not gig) per day - at most.

So I start thinking someone's jacking our wi-fi (even though it's secured). All kinds of thoughts are going through my head, like what in hell are they uploading?!

I called our cable ISP and they were adament the daily stats were correct and they hadn't fouled up somehow.

So we changed our wi-fi password (again) and implemented a few more security measures. And suddenly we notice our stats drop dramatically - back to normal.

Our daughter moved back in around the same day the bandwidth useage went insane. We never thought of it until just earlier. Turns out - (you've already guessed it) - she has a bit torrent client on her laptop that she downloads movies with - but has it at the default settings so it's seeding up to 200 users full throttle!! Without her (or us) knowing about it (she's not computer savvy).

She had her laptop set to default to our wi-fi anytime she was here at the house (which we didn't mind at the time).

Luckily, we nipped this in the bud and didn't incur a shitload of extra bandwidth charges, lol.

Live and learn (forehead slap). For those of you with kids - watch for spikes on your bandwidth consumption.

You have a cap on your Internet? Is that common?

StickyGreen · 02-05-2013, 06:37 PM

Comcast has a cap of around 200-250GB per month I think...

In places like Somali it is. I wonder where op is from.

seeandsee · 02-05-2013, 06:45 PM

Even in my shitty hole we dont have monthly cap :D

woj · 02-05-2013, 06:47 PM

so did she stop illegally downloading shit? or just set the torrent client to leech only mode?

probably the latter, since it sounds like you were more concerned about the bandwidth limit than the fact that your daughter was caught stealing shit

Yep, different rates/different caps.

We used to have unlimited - but realized after looking at our typical useage that we didn't need to pay for unlimited, so we dropped down to a cheaper bundle package (cable TV, internet, phone)...with a cap.

Leech only mode.

She's a 21-yr-old kid...I have no control over what she does other than my lecture about copyright law that falls on deaf ears.

Thank god it was bit torrents .... and not that she was doing live camshows for MFC or Chaturbate.

I have a 19 year old who wants nothing more than to become a Suicide Girl ... and I have heard horror stories about how they (mis)treat their girls, but my daughter thinks I am just making this up to try to persuade her not to do it

I can think of worse things to worry about.

You do realize that your internet provider is fucking you in the ass? There is zero reason to need a cap on bandwidth in this day & age. They are just doing it because they can get away with it. You Canadians should have a uprising..

Kiopa_Matt · 02-06-2013, 02:40 AM

huh, and here I was, reading away, waiting for something like, "we discovered our daughter is a web cam girl, streaming her naked body across the world from her bedroom!".

But nope, all I got was, "she left the default BitTorrent settings on".

i'd like to see some american companies come into canada and blow these greedy assholes out of the water but i don't see it happening anytime soon. cable, internet, home phone, mobile are all overpriced and we are getting screwed compared to whats available in the US.

Make sure you set a good password too. With airodump-ng people can snag the WPA key and run a password file against it.

I get free Internet from my HOA. It's very dependable and we don't have any caps at all.

Don't worry even we are getting screwed here in the US compared to the rest of the world. However there is a lot of hot debate going on about it now, so maybe we will get a bump again.

Granted my internet speed is faster than I really need and I have no cap, but still having artificial caps reduces future tech growth.

1) It's not free, you pay for it with your HOA dues.
2) How is this at all relevant to the topic?
3) nevermind, I forgot who I was trying to reason with

LGParsons · 02-06-2013, 09:21 AM

ya, whenever my teens have a school break, my usage spikes big-time. My phone and internet combined are over 200$ with Bell in Canada. We do have a cap and I am always over. Found out the kids were using youtube as a music channel while they played online, which didn't help.

JP-pornshooter · 02-06-2013, 11:18 AM

caps are pretty common mostly outside US and no doubt the US providers wold love for some competition to go away so they could implement across the board.

he should be concerned. lots of people getting in trouble with torrents that are put up just to log ip's and send out letters. downloading is bad but uploading is even worse.

Done. And we entered the MAC addresses for all our own devices and locked everything else out (before we knew it was an inside job, lol).

Agreed. Too many regional monopolies in Canada and we're being screwed big time.

They just started cracking down on it. There isn't enough competition normally just 2 choices and usually they both sell cable TV as well. I think a lot of people have been shutting down their cable and using netflix and other streaming instead so they respond by putting in limits
