Since connected to the Internet via DSL with limited quota bandwidth 1 GB per month, I try to use my bandwidth wisely. 1 GB per month for some people (including me who like to download movies or else) is very small quota. That’s why I have to hold my desire to download any of files that can cause exceeding in size quota bandwidth.
Couple ways to limit your bandwidth from your browser :
- Don’t load images, unless the images are essential for the site, or, that you have to view and search the images.
- Don’t load javascript. Some webmasters use javascript to load images, advertisement or anything else they want. If javascript isn’t essential for the site, disable it.
- For Mozilla users, use plugins to block unwanted ads, scripts, or else. I use AdBlock Plus and No Script for this purpose.
- Stop loading page if you have found your interest.
- If you have another PC, use it as cache proxy server. A cache proxy server can save more of your bandwidth by caching the image, flash / animation, or any files that you want .
- Monitor your bandwidth using Download / Upload monitor applications. There’s a lot of them out there.
- Of course, no one can control your bandwidth except yourself. So, you have to be wise using your bandwidth
If you have other ways beside what i’ve already mentioned above, please inform me. I’ll be very thankful for your kindness.

Don’t forget to turn your PC off or unplug the UTP cat5 cable from the ethernet jack when not in use
