Anyone tried this: AnalogX Netstat Live

Looks good.

I used to monitor all the time when I had smaller caps.  Then I went to unlimited, then I came here (and realised I wont hit the cap anyway).

I've just installed the little gadget which takes the info direct from IDNet to monitor my account.  Only because I want to though, not because I need to.

Would be interested to know if you get to the bottom of your problem Moley.

Personally, I'd disable the wireless for a couple of days and only use your current machine connected via a cable.  At least that way you know if it's your machine doing it.

BTW, I don't think the term good anti-virus and Norton 360 go hand in hand  ;)  (My personal opinion anyway!)

With regards to limits, I'm pretty sure that there is only a limit on the peak time. I believe that, if you wanted, you could use your entire bandwidth off-peak.

Yes (if to clarify though) you can.

If my allowance is 10GB and off peak is 30GB. I can download 29GB off peak, and 9GB peak. So in total I've got 38GB in a month, and pay no extra. I've done this before when I over did it with free game and MMO demos (4-8gb each, although did not try WOW ;) , and only a few days demo time :P). I quickly learnt that they are all rubbish and not worth the bandwidth let alone the subscription fee!
I use to have a signature, then it all changed to chip and pin.
