I noticed when browsing this site that a hell of a lot of data
is transmited 'upstream' ie from my computer to the site.
for example at one point up was 282K and down was 935K
a few pages later up was 347K and down was 992K
the differences are 65K 57K
Now I can understand me needing 63K to display a few pages
but I cannot understand why 57K of what should be control
data is being sent back, it seems hugely excessive.
Is it just me? am I being paranoid?
You can view data traffic by clicking the connection icon in
you system tray (two linked terminals) and selecting status.
I looked at another forum and the upstream data was about
half that, but still more than I expected
During normal 'browsing I expect ratios of about 10:1 not
almost 1:1.
I cannot understand why so much data is sent upstream?
But off topic I know.
