Does downloading files like music or videos use up more gb's than normal? I'm not really sure what you're asking. Downloading any file will obviously take up harddrive space. If you mean like the CPU usage memory, then even then, any application you have open (internet tab, media player, etc.) will use up at least some of that too. So, I'm going to go with probably yes.

Sorry for not being clear enough. I'm talking about with my ISP. I believe I have a 60 GB limit and was wondering if downloading videos and pictures would eat up a lot of it.

Depends on what you're downloading, if they're full movies then obviously but pictures shouldn't do too much.

Like they said above, It depends on what you're downloading. If you are downloading a torrent it should say on the site you downloaded the torrent file off how much the download is. (Example: 1.6GB). When that downloads that is how much internet usage you will lose, Another key thing you need to learn with torrents is that as soon as your download has finished make sure you stop it otherwise it will go in to a mode called "Seeding" and that is basically you sharing the file with everyone else so you lose internet from it. I generally seed but that is because I have a lot of download.
If you're not downloading a torrent like I said above you will only lose the download of the size of a file.
So if you have 60GB download and you download a movie that is 1.4GB (Average movie download size) you're internet download will go to 58.6GB so you will have that much download left.
I hope I made this as clear as possible for you, If not just hit me up with a PM and I'll go a little more in depth.
