haha, what a good son :)

1275178 2012-05-14 07:01:00 Well he hammered it for 30 minutes solid, took a reading on the usage meter before and after, and hammer it he did,:lol: opened and loaded multipliable worlds to start (as he put it, that uses lots more data) then gave it death lol.

The figures:

Basic figures first : 1024MB = 1 GB


After 30 minutes 60MB used (upload and download combined - its rounded up, it was actually 59.8MB))

60x2 =120MB (1 hour)

So even at a Time period of 24 hours non stop: 120MB x 24 Hrs = 2880MB

2880MB decided by 1024 (1 GB) = 2.81 GB

So even in 24 hours minescape on its own cant have used 22GB.

Even if it were acting as a server - generally upspeed is slower than download, so if he had 3 people using the PC as a server 1+3 Friends, it would only be 11.24GB and thats over 24 hours non stop.

There was something else sucking the usage to rank up 22GB.

1275180 2012-05-14 07:35:00 Cool so 120MB an hour, that's not as bad as it used to be by any stretch. It would previously go through over double that a few versions back...

So it'll use a bit, but probably doesn't account for 3/4 of the usage that day realistically.

I agree but now I can't get into the modem to reset it. admin admin doesn't work.

Could Telecom help?

username = Administrator (with capital A) and password was blank, or Password

How do you get to live in a Multipliable world? Is it better than Earth? and how pliable is it can you bend it in your hands?
