FYI, to all you peeps who think that torrents are free , go ask your mommy how much the ISP bill is each month. Now back to your regular scheduled programming...

It depends on the provider, the one I currently use doesn't have any download limit surcharge (providers I have used in the past did) so it makes no difference if I'm using a torrent or checking my e-mail I still pay the same amount (though the part of central Scotland I'm in has lousy connection speeds).

I still have to keep the computer running so that's more on the electricity bill.
