Report it to your ISP.

Could be a gaming updates from Gamespy? or other servers...

 

[marine1]

Spyware? Virus? You uploaded that in one day?
1.9 gig update?

 

[Nokkie]

could also be windows automated update software for all the program's on your pc

Guys... he UPLOADED, not downloaded... I would be worried bout that...

 

[flashfire208]

Guys - note: UPLOADED. Updates and the likes are downloaded.

Malware? You could be spamming a whole lot of people with mail.

 

[Sting]

Hope they used vaseline! If it was uploaded then you've been r@ped!!

Firewall?

 

[Nokkie]

sorry!!!

but you can take a shower Zuma said so...

 

[flashfire208]

Eish ... ill scan for malware and the like and tell you if anything comes up

 

[Nokkie]

ok...

torrents?

torrents?

Was thinking the same. Maybe downloaded a torrent and left your client running.
And then you seeded 1.9Gb

 

[flashfire208]

i dont torrent for this exact reason

 

[nephelyn]

You running any other peer to peer software that maybe has something shared with the world?

 

[APoc184]

Limewire perhaps?

 

[Ry4n]

It might be a p2p client running in the backround like utorrent - left seeding?
or
Maybe someone has gotten hold of your ISP details and uploaded loads of data - enable DSL Secure through the DSL console if you using WA, that will only allow connection to your isp from your ADSL line you can add and remove lines if you wish.

 

[flashfire208]

nope no limewire or torrents . thanks for the suggestion ry4n , now i just have to remember my own password to get into the console ...Hmmmm...
