He got time to kill and also got an unlimited-usage broadband connection.......Welcome to time and bandwidth wastage.....
Way back in 1999,he was one of the first few Indians to have an unlimited,always on connection.It was only 64 Kbps,nothing to brag about,but at least he didnt have to worry about phone bills !for a thousand rupees a month,he'd managed to break free of the shackles of copper wire,local call charges and his parents moaning about how no one could ever get through to the phone! what's more he actually used to get 64Kbps(8kbps) download speeds which was a lot faster than 16 Kbps(2Kbps) he'd become accostoumed to on dial up.
Because it was 1999 broadband Isp's were still learning and he guess and he soon discovered that his Isp has limited the download speeds but had forgottened to do the same with uploads. The result ? a mear 8Kbps speed for downloads and a whooping 400 Kbps upload speed.
He was somewhat of an IRC (internet relay chat) addict so he was promptly on his favourite network showing off to his friends.There were even people in America who didn't have 400Kbps upload bandwidth back than!
He find himself obessesing about his upload capabilities not wanting to let it go to waste!He also knew that sooner or later some engeenier at his Isp would awake from his slumber and prick his heavenly bubble. As it turned out,this senierio lasted about six months and he uploaded more in those six months that he downloaded science 1999,he also setup his site on his own computer at FTP server,IRC bots to transfer and share loads of files,and absolutely anything that would use his upload capability.
