    Default Can anyone provide an answer?

    See i was using utorrent to get a file. The total size is 6 GB.

    Now the problem. I did the math and our limit is 20GB and we were on about 11GB already
    I aimed to get around 50% of the download which would be about 3GB.
    I then ended up with 60%.
    I had seeded 500MB - later on changed it to a slower rate.

    In theory i should have used up about 3 or 4GB
    Making the total at 14 or 15GB.
    Even if i had downloaded the whole file it shouldnt have gone over the 20GB limit.


    Today we have a reading of 20.71GB. And according to the website all during the time i was downloading.
    To be specific, i apparently downloaded 7GB and seeded about 1GB which cant be true.

    EARLY EDIT: I asked my brother and he said playing on the wifi lan might have added to this. But i highly doubt this. Theres a small 'hill' next to it which i;m pretty sure sure it the wifi lan gaming. MTW2 to be exact
    and it used about 200MB over a space of 1 hour. We were playing for about 1 1/2 before that during the time that the torrent was going

    EDIT: Is there tool which records how much internet you have used in 'one sitting' From the time you open the internet browser to the time to close it. Then it resets.

    I have a feeling this thread is going to be attacked by impetuous mods. Dont close it just yet. Closing this thread without good reason is just ignorance.

    Yea but the only 2 computers at the time which had internet access were being used to play mtw2 through wireless lan
    This all happened yesterday and no one did anything which would have consumed much bandwidth, no videos, no online games. I was on the total war forums for a bit but going onto forums barely uses up anything.

    Accordign to our itnernet provider, all of the consumption happened at the time i was downloading.
