I have a couple of days that their monitor doesn't show any usage for at all. Yup, somethings definitely cookoo (not that I'm complaining ;)).
 
About 2 weeks ago I downloaded over 1 Gig in one go.
It never showed on the monitor. It is zero most days.
Today the monitor suddenly shows 767.3385 MB download and 736.5409 MB upload for Tuesday. It was not shown yesterday.
It's definitely crazy.

By the way, why would one get such a almost 1:1 ratio of up/download ?

I noticed one morning that the ADSL line light on the router was flickering madly while there was no activity on the LAN . I unplugged the line, plugged it back in and it was quiet.

Do I have something nasty on my computer, or was someone trying something from outside but got stopped by the router firewall ??
 
It looks like they forgot to take Antowans upload into account.

Beacayse download is 2.43gigs, while he has 0.57 left. which = 3gigs.

"Yesterday's" figure is always shown as zero

When I checked yesterday (Thursday ) the values for both Tuesday and Wednesday was zero . Today the value for Tuesday pops up.

I think they are just slow in updating.
 
No i think they've stopped counting or something - I downloaded a linux distro and various other stuff 2 nights ago: over 900megs in total and yet the past 4 days show absolutely no activity on the SAIX bandwidth tracker...
 
I have the same problems where for days it says 0 then suddenly updates.. but I'm confused. I never use the adsl.telkomsa.net monitor because I find it is always wrong, so instead I use the one on userstats.adsl.saix.net BUT on the latter it's showing that I've done 1.9GB's whereas in my emails from TelkomSA it says I've only done 1.01GB's... Which one's correct:confused: :confused:
