Hi Lord of the Rings:

Thanks for the input.

I've been using Limewire for years but it is only recently that our ISP is measuring bandwidth (last September). I've never seen Limewire ever use that much bandwidth unless something has changed????

I went back to check my records (one year) and my average for uploading/downloading is about less than 20 GBs per month (a lot less). My recent monthly average has risen to 75-80 GBs for the month of August????

I download and upload old radio files (large than songs in mp3) but still that's a lot of radio programs at 55-60 GBs extra per month. As mentioned, I don't download movies or video games.

I have the NetMeter installed and I'm monitoring it myself now from my computer.

Any suggestions as to how accurate the ISP is in its measuring?

Thanks,
