And here are my qBittorrent stats. I left my computer running for 6 days, I never thought I'd get this far! But that electricity bill's gonna sting...

It's good to give back to the community.

EDIT: To any three-letter agencies who might be reading this post, I was uploading Linux ISOs and scientific research papers. I would never dream of uploading copyrighted material...

My cable modem consumes about 10-20w (I've done monitoring). This while a single file server is continually backing up to Crashplan (about 700GB this month so far). So I don't even see my cable modem in my power bill.

My file server is much worse - on average it's consuming about 100w (or 2400wh/day). I've done the math several times, that's about $1/day. It's the box that's syncing with all my devices, and then backing up to Crashplan.
