necrogiant Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 HiRecently when I was downloading some apps, I've compared the registered download traffic (total traffic incoming through the cable) to the Download percentage in uTorrent. I saw some big differences, where uTorrent shows only 800 MB has been downloaded, my Traffic Controller says 1.800 MB has been downloaded. What's this all about ? Is someone leeching through my IP or what ?I'm very concerned about this problem, due to my limited download traffic I can't afford getting (somehow) 110 % extra downloads.

Switeck Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Does your router have wireless networking enabled?If so, it's more likely that someone else is using your connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrogiant Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Yes it does, but it's WPA2 encrypted. While not downloading with uTorrent, my traffic control is matches to my daily usage. But just when I start uTorrent, the downlaod traffic jumps like crazy.

Switeck Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 So you're using WEP2-AES?Is your BW meter also counting upload?How did you configure uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necrogiant Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Yes my BW meter is also counting the upload traffic on a different log, so no download-upload mix-up. My uTorrent settings haven't been changed since I installed it, so I presume it's on default settings. (except the download limit which is on unlimited or 1000 kb/s)I just checked the todays traffic : uTorrent : 1.7 GBBW: 3.0 GB (subtract 300 MB for mails, 4 short youtube clips and a 40 pics of 60 kb) Conclusion: where did 1 GB go ?

Switeck Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 1st and 2nd links in my signature then...uTorrent is *FAR* more BW-wasteful with bad settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
