[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1515086, member: 71075"] Yes they do and you're right to doubt them. That however is not important right now. This is something that you really need to watch out for. Many apps monitor outgoing traffic on a device without discrimination. Consequently, traffic across the network will get caught. I, like Raz0rEdge, have seen these tools report massive amounts of bandwidth that fails to recognize that my NAS is not the outside world. If you don't send data across the network (between devices in your home), Activity Monitor can do this. However, it doesn't log these values so unless the machine is on all day, AM won't be of help.
