Well it seems I'm getting back into RS, but I'm at college with a 12 GB bandwidth limit per week (a lot of which is used up for Skype), so I was wondering how much bandwidth RS takes up per hour. I don't know if the graphics level makes a difference but I'm planning to run on low graphics. Could I safely play for maybe 5-6 hours per week with 2-4 gigs of bandwidth? Thanks!

EDIT: Whoops, I must've cropped the column titles out.
First column is Time
Second column is Date
Third is Downloaded
Fourth is Uploaded
Fifth is Both Directions' Traffic
Sixth is Average Download
Seventh is Average Upload

...not bad if an important RS event comes up while I'm in class. Just tether n' play.

Open the RS console and key in "displayfps".

The bandwidth monitor rarely goes above 1kB/s. Nothing much to worry about.

If you are into FPS games you could safely play those also, they use very little bandwidth just like rs.

I monitored it once, and it is an incredibly low number. I was running on a 30 kB/s connection at the time, and it was using less than 1 kB/s most of the time for RuneScape.

But what did such a Teuton afterwards look like when he had been "improved" and led into a monastery? Like a caricature of a human being, like an abortion: he had become a "sinner," he was in a cage, one had imprisoned him behind nothing but sheer terrifying concepts... There he lay now, sick, miserable, filled with ill-will towards himself; full of hatred for the impulses toward life, full of suspicion of all that was still strong and happy. In short, a "Christian"... - Twighlight of the Idols
