problem is.... I don`t know what Peer to Peer is.... can someone explain please......
Oh and by the way..... Apparently I have been doing FTP (non plusnet) stuff too...... = 1.04KB Peak time, and 0.72 kb Off peak time.....
as I understand it, FTP is when you upload or download to your website..... well, I haven`t done any of that since before November last year..... so what is that (non plusnet) stuff? I certainly don`t FTP to anyone else....

FTP is uploading/downloading from webspace.
It could be that that traffic was misidentified, the Ellacoya's can't be 100% accurate and will identify based on protocol and port number).
Those numbers are very very small, so I wouldn't worry about it at this stage.

Again, they are miniscule amounts so I wouldn't worry about it.

it just seems strange, that you have this system of analysing my usage. and I haven`t been doing any of those things.....
If I get a letter from ACS law saying I have been using "peer to peer" and illegal filesharing..... then I cannot deny it..... as your system is proving otherwise....
That is what I am worried about......

A bit like the begging letters from ACS:Law and Davenport Lyons.

Shutter,
Are you using a Wireless connection?
If so, just wondering if there is any chance that someone else is stealing your connection?
This can happen (so I`m told) just by someone sitting in a car outside someone`s house, with their PC
and using it, or even from a neighbour (cheeky yes, but it does happen)
If you are using Wireless, then have you been into the router settings and secured your connection?
I`m no expert in this department but I was warned about it, and I opted to connect to the internet using
an ethernet cable.
I`m sure there will be others on here who can offer you more advice, or maybe try the Router forum.
Hope this helps.

It looks like the amounts are so small it's highly unlikely (even if Shutter was on a wireless connection) that someone would download such a miniscule amount.
