| 839987 | 2009-12-15 22:23:00 | I have notice few days back and again yesterday when I was watching live Cricket match streaming over the internet(for free of-course). Even no upload was done from me (no p2p, no one else used computer yesterday other than email checking) , just watched live stream for say about 2 hours... My download was 400 MB during that period and upload set up high at 600 mb for same duration. Can anybody explain what is going on here ? How does this Upload counted towards my data usage ? I asked Orcon, then they say it is possible only when p2p or torrents are used, but in fact I do not use any of that. I am confused here. !:confused: |

| 839989 | 2009-12-16 03:15:00 | I'd be pretty surprised if 6 megs went up - never mind 600!! | bevy121 (117) | ||

| 839991 | 2009-12-16 23:13:00 | Normally the upload volume is waaaaaaaay less than the download. Do a "Wiki" on download protocols :) |

E.g. if it's 400MB download I'd look at about 21MB upload. Interesting... I will be inclined to download a 'bandwidth monitor' and see where is the leak ? I will monitor for few days and let u guys know .. say about Monday. |
