Extremely Large Upstream Usage?
New, WishlistPublic

Description

Hi,

I recently purchased the early alpha access to DayZ on Friday. I played the game for 3 days over the weekend, and for each of those days I found that my internet connection was using a TON of upstream. So much so, it used 40 gigs in 3 days which is over 25% of my internet cap. Could be a large issue for a lot of players, specifically ones with caps.

Please find the attached image.

I have a secure web connection and am the only person that uses it. I do not torrent or run and web services. If you see my past internet behaviour it is very different. Those days were the only days in the month I played the game.

Very odd. {F29067}

That's a lot of upstream. I doubt it's DayZ, tho, as there is no way it could have triggered 30 gigs of upstream data.

Just looking at the figures, the period Dec 20-22, someone was downloading something large. DayZ might account for 7 gig if you count patches (current size on disk is around 5.5 gb).

I'm currently monitoring my connection and even at it's worst (~25kB/s Upstream) you'd only be looking at around 2.5 gB Up for the ~30 hours I've been playing. (The average is closer to 3.5 kB/s Up and therefore total is a little shy of 400 MB Up).

Sorry, not very helpful.

Don't know what happened with the hours number above... should be thirty.

The days line up with my playing. Going to install a bandwidth monitor to watch my upstream.

Found the problem. I installed League of Legends the same day and didn't play it. They use Pando Media Booster as a torrent to distro updates whether or not the game is running.
