This is weird.
My ISP provides around 1Gig a day of download limit.
Every night I'd setup downloads with LimeWire and Bittorrent, and in the morning have no juice left in my account.
Until I realized that most of the time, I hadn't downloaded even close to 1Gig of material.
So I got a few internet activity monitors to see what was really going on, and lo and behold, my PC really was downloading this amount of data, although there was no proof of it.
I played around with them to see whats going on and noticed this.
When all download programs are off, the monitor (DU Meter) shows pretty much no internet activity - which is expected.
However, when I activated either limewire or Bittorrent, I starty seeing download speeds or 25 to 50 kb/s in DU Meter, although in Limewire it shows 2 files downloading at 7 Kb/s Total.
Same thing with Bittorrent.
if the totals for file downloads in these apps show 5-10kb/s downloads, how come DU Meter shows speeds of 40 and 50? where's the other 40 Kb/s going?
And I know it's going somewhere cause within a few hours, over 1.3 Gigs are spent.
Someone please enlighten me.
