They claim I was actually using all that bandwidth. But funny how as soon as I mentioned the problem to them it tailed off. Since I mentioned it I did my first ever mass mailing and got 10 times my normal traffic for the week.... but I only went thru a few hundred megs of bandwidth. Hmmm. Funny how the week before I was using up to 500 megs PER DAY with only 1/10th the traffic.

Well the leak seems to be haulted but it's still a complete mystery to me as to what was happening before. Oh well.

Also, it can be a CPanel issue. Check with your host to see if there has been any such issue with other websites on the same server as you are on.

Not sure if this would apply to you but I read recently about someone with this problem who was running a small database on their site that had got stuck in a loop calling a non existant file. ( my knowledge of such things is to low to make sence of that )

When you check your logs check that for files views not just pages view i already saw something similar because someone post ed some link to some images on my site in a popular forum. if this is the case you can see wich one by checking the referrer logs.

Yes, it does sound like someone is using your server for something. Might be spam, might just be routing or something similar.

Most likely you can't, the server administrator would need to patch it. However, if you're using any in the can form processor, remove it.

I strongly suggest you get the server admin to check the mail if your raw logs for browser traffic aren't showing anything.

I don't know much on the server side but how does that work? Like somebody's routing their spam thu my server or something? And if so, what can I do to prevent it.

Sounds like your server is being used for spam.
