Apparentally I have to register a computer to use the internet at my school (or something like that - I don’t really understand how that works. Is it nonsense?), so they can see how much traffic I’m using. Would something like 500GBs/month (a lot being up) be a problem or do I have to be in the range of several TBs?



It all depends on your school. At one point my undergrad school allowed unlimited download and something like 10GB over a 5 day period. Now I believe it’s down to 10 GB total (upload + download) over 5 days. They may have increased it since youtube/hulu/etc have become more popular, though.
