Who's stealing my bandwidth!? Day 5 - PROBLEM SOLVED!


Hey look! DAY 5!!!

Well, sort of... I'm posting late but you know... Even if I don't...

Everything's back online now so here's the results for all THAT:

Day 4 results
Original remaining download quota: 15.4834Gb
End remaining download quota: 14.83804Gb

Day 1: 116Mb (approx)
Day 2: 465Mb (approx)
Day 3: 121Mb (approx)
Day 4: 645Mb (approx)

And... it's pretty much over. Looks like I've found the source. I installed a program called TVersity on Garfield a few weeks ago to try and stream video to my xbox 360. The program wanted to convert everything to some sort of different video format so I cancelled it, stopped the background service and just left it alone. In the last 2 days I've been getting notifications from Garfield saying it's out of disk space. I had no idea why so I downloaded TreeSize to tell me where all the space had gone. Turns out TVersity was still running and has been downloading podcasts and youtube videos even though I was pretty sure I'd killed it... I never subscribed to those things either! >:-(!!! Stupid thing... It's uninstalled now and I will not be putting it back on in a great hurry... if ever!

Culrpit: TVersity via Garfield!
