Probably, because you have a huge skin.

I used the stormrunner skin and I used 5GB too.

Use a simpler skin.

360 skin has some huge graphics... and mech red does too.

Also, if you have a shoutbox or other addons.. it may use more bandwidth.

Make sure no one is hotlinking as well.

[remember]

i have shout box,inactive users,force users to read,cyb top 5stats,auto db backup..many ..

Make your users post thumbnails, not whole images. (I just suppose that is a warez forum). If that is a warez forum that you're talking about than maybe you have more guests than members and it's normal to spend bandwidth.

try this site

bigearn.info

view some links when u get 10$ to bux in ur account convert it to adds then u get good traffic i did same too but now this site have changed it script before it script use to make 0.50$ in 1 Click but now its like BUX.TO xD

 

[sahil3x1]

You need to go into your cpanel and check out AWSTATS or Webalizer to see where that bandwidth is going. Both of these utilities break down your traffic into stats that show who is using what... You will never figure out what's going on by looking at your configuration, see what the numbers are and who is sucking it all up on you. You may be having some axxhole hotlinking to your site or like I just discovered, a hacker may be serving porn from you site without your knowledge. Took my site down in only one day... he "planted" his porn distribution in my /xml folder. I had no idea until my site went down for exceeding bandwidth.

Check it out, you might be okay but find out where that stuff is going!

For sure, don't guess...

alexa bot is exploiting my bandwidth..it has used more than 1 gb
