My home pc's has pulled down 3 gig of bandwidth from the 17th ?

Anyone recommendations on software I can run to try and find out what's using bandwidth ?

If your machine is missing an update it will download whenever it gets a chance, so it still could be.

P2P downloaders (Also uploads) chow bandwidth. Bitcomet uploads data even if you do not download or the Uploading is stopped depending on settings. Therefore i always shut mine down deliberately!
