There comes a couple of problem with over downloading.
An average of 2 calls per month I get from people's complaining that- I didn't use to download anything from internet and just surfed some website this month and the telephone bill says downloading exceeded. Why is so?
And this post is as per my promise to write the solution in my blog.
So, let me tell you that if you don't have unlimited usage plan and each extra MB expand your bill then you need to be carefull.
Possible reasons:-
1) Update
a)Hidden
People's using windows don't have any idea how much each update costs them. While your PC is connected to internet windows updates automatically and update data goes to GB's depending on your OS. So, turn off the automatic update from control panel- automatic updates.
There are some other softwares which use to connect with internet while working. Like- sending an error message and then receiving error report.
For eg:- Mobile PC suite, real media player, etc.
You need to carefull and you must check programs running as tray icon's. You'd better exit it and it'll also help making you system faster and better.
b)Shown
Some softwares before updating asks us whethere update it or not and we always put it on automatic update and we have no idea how much this updates costs to you.
2)Flash contents
Any video or video we watch or listen on websites such as youtube or likewise increases our downloading limit. Always remember acccessing flash video or downloading is one and the same thing. What I meant to say is either you download or watch a flash video, data download will be same(As per my research). When you watch a video song, you download atleast 6-20MB
3)Viewing images
Every image you view increases your downloading
4)Font
Many websites arew formated with such font which are not so common and are unavailable in our system. So, to solve this problem some special coding is done. So, that it is automatically downloaded in our sytem without any prior notice.
Use a firewall software that ask you or inform you if any software tries to connect with internet. So, that you could allow or disallow it.
If you are a donwload freak and your download limit is set by the server then you must install a software which counts the data downloaded by your system and when the download limit is exceeded, say- 1 Gb then you must be carefull before downlaoding as you have to pay for it.
I'll write more on this topic, when I get time.
Some previous posts are updated.
