Internet stops working...

[John Slider]

I'm into indy music, so I download a lot of music videos from bands that are in development or just trying to get off the ground, and seeing as their amateurs the videos are usually really long and usually the wrong format making them huge file sizes, anyways, after downloading a few gigs my Internet stops working, I've been told it may be a bandwidth problem, but I don't know what bandwidth is.


Why does it happen?

Bandwidth Bandwidth Cap

bandwidth is the width of the band you are downloading, say they have a big bass player then the bandwidth is larger, you sould download music from smaller bands with maybe 3 skinny members J/K

bandwidth is used to describe the amount of data that can be transferred over a prescribed period of time.
depending on what kind of internet service you have I would not think this would be the reason your internet connection would drop unless you are
transferring tons of data on you home isp. for this you would have to be running a server of some sorts and you would also be getting email from your isp stating this.

haha, that actually made me laugh when I read it. Well, I still don't know what the problem is, is there something that you can run out of when you download a lot of things? Like fuel or something? (Yes, I really know that little about computers).
