Twice now when I have used Software Download to check if there are any Apple downloads, again last night, during checking (when the mb figures go up very rapidly) , and afterwards, I get an indication of extremely large downloads, ie >700mb, and upload of >50mb !
I use an Orange UK 3G USB dongle, which measures download and upload useage, on a per session basis, and also since last reset of the counter.
I think this is a very accurate counter for all other times on the internet.
But for some reason, when I check Software Download for updated Apple software, I get these very large counts.
I have checked with another counter I use, and I think it has increased by similar large amounts last night.
There is no way I could have actually downloaded 700mb in my one hour session, my d/l speed at the moment is 0.34mb/s. (Usually 2.4mb/s)
Do you think there is some sort of communication error ?
Is this figure reflected in my chargeable mbs from Orange ? They cannot tell me this.
I did download other small progs updates, AFAIK these showed correct d/l mbs.
