It has started - we have a few users who use the network for bulk downloading.

Until recently the network was immune from excessive data down loads but now it is getting to a point that it starts to hurt the hip pocket. Someone some where has to pay for the pipe into the internet.

We will monitor the usage over the next month, if it is still excessive we will consider shaping access for those individuals. It will be set at 64k for those who constantly download. It will not be shaped for any services on the network, just internet. If you want to do peer to peer downloads then pay for it yourself.
