144GB is NOTHING!!
144GB is nothing indeed (depending where you are), however you've missed the "in 6 days" part.You must be a very cheap son of a bitch to complain about this bandwidth since one can buy unlimited for about $100/yr.
Please link me to the ISP with an unlimited plan with decent speeds that is <$10 a month. Otherwise this is just hyperbolic nonsense.You ONLY have to download the chain once.
The initial download is not what the problem is nor the problem with your statement:Quote
People sit in their living room all over the planet streaming movies every night and you worry about 2MB every ten minutes?
Assuming that only 2MB will be spent every 10 minutes is very wrong. There's really no need to resort to childish behavior because I've called you out on this mistake (note: Nobody said that you don't know the difference between memory and bandwidth).
Where I live, the speed of internet is very very slow. It is like 10mbit/sec.
People advocating for contentious HF's don't really care about that apparently. I can also picture memory being more expensive in those areas, am I right (storage can be quite cheap but only depending on where you're from)?Actually that node is hosted in an Azure VM in their Japan East datacenter and costs me $120-$180 a month to run.
How? I was told that it was only that expensive in Zimbabwei 
Update: Several updates to post; more are probably coming.
