hello, downloading the programs alone cannot cause this amount of traffic - the firefox setup file is around 40 MB in size, thunderbird 25 MB...

I am having problems with BT as they claim I have used 6.1 Gb of download in two days since plugging in my new Dell laptop. I was wondering how much space these two downloads would require as that is all I downloaded. 6.1 Gb for two programs seems a bit excessive.

Thanks, I am going back to harangue BT
