So, something is chewing up your Internet bandwidth?

It may be Cloud storage. If you are using some like Dropbox or Google Drive or Microsoft Skydrive or any of the many other Cloud storage apps, then if you have changed the content of folder, the app will automatically sync the changes between your folder and the Internet.

This will take place in the background, probably without your knowledge. These changes could be of the order of GBytes and could be expensive if you are not on an uncapped ADSL account!

So, if you don't have an uncapped Internet connection, ensure that you understand how to check the status of your Cloud storage, it could be expensive if you don't!

Most apps have "sync over wifi only" options but it's a good point for those who use a 3G wireless router at home.
