How do I track wireless broadband upload & download amounts

I am having a serious problem with my ISP in that they claim I am uploading in excess of 15GB of material in less than 3 weeks and want to charge me over and above the package I'm on. This is simply not the case that I'm aware of unless someone is hacking into my system or my computer has a virus. I don't upload anything. I've removed all the dormant Limewire and Transmission type applications but it's still creeping up there.
Before I start changing loads of things and getting anti virus software etc I would be really grateful if someone could tell me if there's any way to track the levels of upload and download that are coming from the iMac or Macbook Pro that we have in the house? There's nothing on the router and I have to reply on the ISP's webpage for the info but this may be incorrect. I've tried Activity Monitor but can't see any unusual activity there.

I've heard of computers downloading lots of data behind the scenes, but never uploading. Very strange. It's very unlikely to be a hacker or malware. (See my [Mac Virus guide|http://www.reedcorner.net/thomas/guides/macvirus> for more information on the latter.)
One thing to try would be to install [Little Snitch|http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch>, which can help you monitor outgoing connections. I'm not sure if it lets you track how much data is being transmitted, though, and you'll find that there are a lot of weird-sounding but normal processes that will make outgoing connections without your knowledge. It may help you track down the culprit, though.

  • How to create a service to UPLOAD / DOWNLOAD and send emails with files?

    Good afternoon!
    I need to create a service that sends files via email or FTP, and a service to upload / download files on a server.
    I see on the internet does not have much aid to make it in the ADF.
    Could someone send me some links, documentation, so I can get the job done?
    Thank you,
    Lewis.

    "I see on the internet does not have much aid to make it in the ADF."  - You are kidding - do you?!
    1) Google: ADF Faces file upload
    2) Google: ADF Faces image download
    3) Google: ADF send mail
    I get all the relevant hits (documentation and blog entries) by using these 3 queries in Google.
    If you mean "Web Service" by "Service" then better - just Google for Web Service and image handling to find information on this. You don't use ADF to build Web Services, which is why you need to express your search criteria different

  • HT2455 How to change track order when uploading CD?

    When I am uploading a CD into my I-Tunes Library it is coming in alphabeticaly by artist and not in numerical order by track number.
    Most CD's this does not make a difference but there are many that have to belitened to in order.  This appplies to Classical and show albums.
    How does one re-organize by track number?   1,2,3,etc

    You don't need to go to the Gear.
    In Finder, simply click any Header Column to sort (or reverse-sort) by that column. Click again on the same Header Column to reverse the sort order. Click on another Header Column to sort by that column instead. I used the Date Modified header column rather than Date Created but it works the same in any header column.
    EXAMPLE 1 : sorted by Date Modified, oldest first (Arrow in blue Header Column pointing UP)
    EXAMPLE 2:  sorted by Date Modified, newest first (Arrow in Header Column pointing DOWN)

  • How do I track progress of uploads to iCloud Drive?

    Hello all,
    I've starting backing up my files to iCloud Drive.
    Is there any way to telling what's been backed up or how many files are left to go?
    Regards,
    Simon

    You will see progress bars behind each file or folder that still is syncing, when you browse the iCloud drive folder. Other than that, there is no indication of the upload.

  • OutOfMemory while uploading/downloading a large file

    Hello,
    We have recently been experiencing OutOfMemory errors in production. We find that whenver there is reasonable load and some user tries to download a 20MB zip file served from weblogic, the server throws OutOfMemoryError.
    How does Weblogic handle large file upload / download request? Is it possible to crash the weblogic server by initiating a huge file upload (in the order of 200MB)?
    Will this be kept in memory?
    like wise for downloads, what is the maximum size of the file that can be served by weblogic? Is there any memory implication? (other than the response buffer size) Will the entire file be cached in memory by weblogic when a download request gets served?
    Please help!
    Thanks!
    Dheepak.

    Hi Dheepak, Are you using a special servlet to download the zip? The default servlet always buffers only buffer_size no of bytes and then flushes it as soon as it exceeds. The default buffer size is around 8k, so you should see multiple flushes of 8k each.
    The file is not kept in memory or cached in anyway by the server itself buf I can imagine a custom servlet/filter doing that.
    For uploads, WebLogic just creates an inputStream over the underlying socket inputstream and returns it to the user. So again there is no caching of data other than the inter buffers which again arnt more than 8k.
    Hope that helps

  • How do I track doc download progress using jQuery UI progress indicator?

    How do I track document download progress using jQuery UI progress indicator?
    I'm looking at downloading a zip file in response to the onclick event in a jQuery button. I'd like to show the download progress on the page.
    I'm working with users who may not be Web savvy and need to know something is happening. Also, they may be on lower bandwidth connnections, so even a small zip file could take time to download.

    Darn it, another senior moment.

  • WRVS4400n v2 How to even out upload &download in same LAN

    I have wrvs4400n v2  and I noticed
    in the same wireless network WLAN, upload speed or download speed way exceeds the other stream speed.
    I'm talking 10Mbps and 329kbs everytime!!
    so in Win XP pro file sharing, pc1 copies file to pc2's shared folder way fast, but the pc2 takes forever to copy a file to pc1's shared foler.
    file size of 18MB.
    How do I make it even out so both upload & download speed are about the same?
    so make it upload & download speed are like 5Mbps
    I'd appreciate anyone's reply.

    What is the wireless setting on the router? (B,G,N or mixed) Is the wireless NIC in PC2 compatible with this setting? Have you tried different settings?  B,G,N or mixed, and  No i haven't tried different setting.
             the thing is PC2 is connected through a wireless client(bridge) to its ethernet port.  since the lan port is wol capable, i set up that way to wake her up when I need to wirelessly.
    Do both PCs have the latest wireless NIC drivers? Yes, and the lastest firmware for the wireless client(bridge).
    Have you tested the transfer with both PCs plugged into the router? If the same issue occurs, this would point to some other hardware problem.           You mean they both PCs joined same network?  if so, then yes.  If you meant they both in same lan by ethernet port then no.            I have another PC that pluged into router with cat5e, and it works flawlessly,  I plugged my laptop and tested with iperf and it work great.  then I connected my laptop by wireless, placed it close to the router, it also worked great.
    wireless client maybe the source of the problem.
    What other thing do you have, things I can try to troubleshooting this speed issue?

  • How to stop photo stream uploading/downloading in the background

    Does anyone know how to stop the iphoto upload/download as my broadband gets killed everytime I add photos to my mac.
    Let me explain that I have a 6-8 MB down link but my uplink is only 0.2Mb really slow.  So when I quit iphoto I can't play any online games for ages as Photostream is taking up my complete band width.  Mainly due to the fact that it is also downloading the photos to my iPad and my wifes iPhone I just imported the photos off those two devices but photostream wants to put a second copy on the device. argh
    please give me better control I want to upload the photos (shared library) to photostream but only when the iPhoto app is open so I have the choice of when my bandwidth is used. either that or make the upload only happen with the device is switch off / not used so if I open a network game the bandwidth is freed until the game is closed.
    thanks

  • TS3274 Not for sure if wireless broadband router is working I have downloaded Itunes on computer I don't think I can coonect to Wi-Fi; any suggestions

    How would I know if my Wireless Broadband router is  working? I get a list oif Network to choose but then I am asked to put in IP address when not connected to the computer. If I am connected to the computer the computer I am assuming IP address shows but even though I have downloaded Ituned to the computer; I cannot retrieve Itunes or App Storeon the IPAD.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

  • How can I track subscriptions/rates/downloads?

    Hey everyone, I just recently uploaded a podcast/audio-drama called The Reaping Journal (feel free to check it out ), and was wondering if someone can tell me how I can track how many subscriptions/rates/downloads I've gotten. My files are hosted at my WordPress website, so hopefully someone can help me out. Thanks guys!

    The iTunes Steore does not provide any form of statistics or tracking. The only way you can do this is by using statistics from the server, which means you would have to have your media files on a server which can provide this. Apple provide some notes on this:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#tracking
    however you would need actual access to the server to do this.

  • Upload Download How To

    I have followed the Upload and Download Files in an Application How To.
    I can upload files into the application but I cannot download.
    When I click on the download link, the full URL appears in the address bar at the top of the screen, but the file does not open.
    Any ideas
    Gus

    Hi Gus,
    I had the same issues after following the upload/download document, and finally after much hunting around i followed the following:
    - You need to create the following function in the schema FLOWS_020100,
    - the function has to be written in upper case
    - and prefixed with the schema the procedure runs in (for example, when you use the function in the schema HR, please change accordingly):
    log as system
    alter session set current_schema=FLOWS_020100;
    create or replace function FLOWS_020100.wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local(procedure_name in varchar2)return boolean
    is
    begin
    if upper(procedure_name) in ('YOUR_SCHEMA.PROCEDURE_NAME') then
    return TRUE;
    else
    return FALSE;
    end if;
    end wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local;
    for more information on this function, follow:
    ref: showing blob content (mime type image/jpeg) in reports cloumn
    http://daust.blogspot.com/2006/04/xe-calling-stored-procedures.html
    So, the mistake i was making was creating the function without putting FLOWS_020100 before wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local, meaning that the function was created in the schema that i found myself in when creating (System account), and not in FLOWS_020100
    It's quite late, but i hope this helps
