I was told that is added to the downloads I've done.

My son also visited for a few days and was using my ADSL modem via the Lan cable (I think those online games he likes are upload heavy too).

I'll limit the Vuze upload speed to the slowest possible when I get unshaped in a few weeks. That should reduce the uploading heaps.
Ian - uploading doesn't count towards your download limit. If your ISP is counting your uploads, change ISPs, they are ripping you off.

If you've got a wireless modem, and you're using it wireless, make sure it's encrypted, preferably with WPA-PSK2 (not wep/wpa), so others can't piggyback and use your connection.
