Well, I have noticed a trend among Winblows users that they use P2P to download a LOT of pirated software and applications (so called warez) and a huge amount of movies (read pr0n). If you visit all major Indian torrent forums, you will see that almost all of them have some type of broadband connection. As for me, I do mail (which eats up a lot of traffic), then IRC (which is also pretty heavy considering the number of channels and servers I am in) and APT (which is also considerable). That eats up 1 GB each month, many times even more than that when I dist-upgrade or something.
