Can I Donate Unused Bandwidth?

AI Thread Summary
Unused bandwidth cannot be donated or transferred to other users or services, as bandwidth allocation is typically fixed to individual accounts. Members often have varying amounts of bandwidth, with some underutilizing their allocated limits. For example, one member mentioned having 30GB of bandwidth but only using a fraction of it monthly. The average usage for the forum is around 15-20GB per month. Overall, while the idea of sharing unused bandwidth is appealing, it is not feasible under current hosting arrangements.

how much ...

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
