Anyone know how to lower simba/runescape's bandwidth?

I bot around 15 hour a day, and for the last two months, I have exceeded my download/upload limit. Although runescape only says that it's uploading 15B/s, i find that number very compromising, as i exceed over 100Gb in one month. Something may be going wrong in my simba settings, causing all this excedent. Any help?

15 bytes a second? You must be mistyping or reading the wrong information.

100GB trough simba alone :P
I think putting your entire house full of pc's with simba clients running non stop woudn't even get that much tbh.

You sure you are not downloading like a lot of movies etc? Or maybe your brother/sister/parents?

I think your pc's been Hijacked and is part of a Bot Net

Yes I have been hacked by epicbot before, but i thought i had gotten rid of the keylogger, but in general, what's the normal bandwidth that runs in your computers? I only run Simba to my main account.

Playing about 20 hours per week, it was about 4 GB a year ago or so in a month. If you use Mac, there's a program called little snitch which allows you to limit the bandwidth you give to programs. If you are running anything else, then you are out of luck.

So it is very likely that theres a keylogger in my computer? Because I remember that when i got hacked by epicbot, that day, I had over 5GB of uploads.

LOLOL Impossible to have over 100GB through RS. Are u using WPA2? if your Wifi is secured using WEP well that will explain it all. Surprised no one suggested that his neighbors could be leeching his Net if it's WEP.

No it is secure, i have a password, and checked the users who were using my wifi and all of them are mine

Simba wouldn't use much more than Runescape at all, which is like 4KB/sec I approx.

Check for a botnet. You might have been infected by a bad download or something, that will really eat your bandwidth.

Go to https://www.comodo.com and download their free firewall. After installing it go to "Summary" and look at which programs have outgoing connections. That should tell you where your bandwidth is going.
