What might cause my Comporium High Speed service to use excessive bandwidth?
1. File sharing programs such as Audiogalaxy, WinMX, Kazaa, Gnutella, eDonkey, iMESH and many more advertise themselves as P2P (peer to peer). They are a means of sharing many types of files (most commonly MP3 music or movies). Unless you properly configure these programs, you may allow others to freely access shared files on your computer. This allows other Internet users to share, or in some cases steal, your bandwidth. You must make sure not to enable file sharing when installing or configuring these programs. If the program you use does not allow you to disable file sharing, set it to the minimum requirement. Please note that Comporium does not recommend, support, or advocate that its users install and use any P2P softwre. These networks are often used for distribution of illegally copied versions of mucis, video, and software applications. 2. Viruses, worms, and spyware often utilize your Internet connection to send data back to another computer or to infect other users on the net
