You kids and your bandwidth measured in gigabytes...

When I first started using the Internet, I measured my transfer rates in megabytes per minute. (And if that number got as high as 1.1 MB/min I would be happy.) And I would automatically get kicked off after four hours.

At that transfer speed... I mean, in theory, if I automatically reconnected after each disconnect, and if I were downloading nonstop, and if I actually had a hard drive big enough to store that much data... I could download around 40 GB/month. Problem being, that's around 80x more hard drive space than I actually had.
