Avoid social networks, anything else with live streams, and anything that will download massive amounts of data (such as upward of ~1 MB-4 MB in one go) like huge flash applets and java applets. Heck, you'll probably have to avoid RuneScape until you have better internet, due to the large data chunks that load when you're changing areas, as well as what happens with every single game update. :( Don't clear your cache, but never let it fill up large areas (like, 3 GB, which is way beyond too much) of your computer's hard drive either. A maximum of 140-160 MB(Slow computers)/256 MB(Midrange Computer)/384 MB(High-End Computer) of disk space for your browser's cache is honestly all that's necessary and can be used without suffering real performance issues, and that's at a level where you can let the browser auto-determine when it needs to clear parts of that space for other data. Anything more is normally literally a waste and will slow things down, as I've come to learn the hard way, so only use more if you really have to. :mellow: I would suggest turning off display of images on sites (If you even still can...) unless you need to see them, or you will eat up a good chunk of that data limit. Also, use AdBlock Plus and NoScript to keep the extraneous junk scripts/ads/widgets out, in order to make a reactive defense against those, or your data limit will be reached extremely quickly. (Yes, I admit you'll have to manually control AdBlock Plus and NoScript, but the payback on lack of junk is well more than simply worth it, and you even get to see all of what a page really doesn't need. You may even find it scary, being that there are tons of analytics companies that are profiling you while you're not even looking at what pages load, and even to an extent where you lose bandwidth from background auto-pings!) :geek: I hope all my thoughts here help you in some way, and good luck at the university that you're going to! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Trying to help beat away bandwidth drains..." Devnull (p.s.: Just for reference, those junk ads/scripts/widgets out there have forced me to build a total of 1414 active filters in my AdBlock Plus build... but all that work has saved me a lot of time!)
