Not quite sure where to post this.

I have been suspicious about the amount of data we have been using recently.

We are currently away from home but on checking data usage, my home Broadband account is clocking up a regular 75MB per day of data (46.8mB download and 28.3MB upload) whilst we are away.

ADSL router is on, WiFi is OFF, PC's are off.
I have left on a music server (runs Windows Home Server) and an Apple Time Capsule (WiFi disabled).

It appears some process is polling something somewhere, but what would use that much data?

Do those specific figures mean anything to anybody, ring any bells?
