Hi all,

I am looking to probably make a home server act as a backup for most of my data but also as a media server. I want to host all my music and videos for the most part on the server and then regardless what computer I'm using I could listen or watch. (Another question would be could I have itunes find my music on the server and play it).

But anyway, from people with home media servers, what kind of bandwidth usage do you go through a month? Comcast (ISP) limits me to 250GB and I'm thinking this is enough for moderate usage, I just want to make sure before I start the project.

Thanks!

I'm not sure I follow you here. Putting media on a server in your network and streaming it to other computers in the LAN won't use any bandwidth on the Internet side. Unless you are talking about trying to stream this content over the Internet? In that case, you are talking about upload bandwidth and not download, which is going to be rated totally differently from your ISP.
