Regarding music backup: I have made a simple playlist of all my favourite tracks, and made Media Copy create a copy of it (the actual files), saved to my external backup. So all of my music could go disappearing, but I would still have my 525 favourite music tracks :-)

If you have smartphones, tablets or home theater receivers, you may be downloading a lot more than you think, or than you can monitor from your working PC.  All of these devices can stream data from the Web, including in the background when they are not in active use.  The only way to measure total usage is where your network connects to the provider's network, which is at your data modem.  If your router doesn't keep track of data flow, you would need to insert something to do so between it and the data modem.

A VOIP phone from a cable provider may also count toward your data total (find out from your provider), but since it connects through a separate modem, will not be counted by your router, or any device inserted between it and the modem.

Curt, you really should find out if you can check the traffic at the router level.

Easy to do if you're running something like Tomato firmware on your router. (And home users should if they can.)

My Netgear CG3000 gateway doesn't tell how much is coming or going.

Hm, you have no way to logon to the router? (Wouldn't be surprised if TDC or one of their subcompanies locked down the router... they definitely do it for business lines, and tend to insist on DKK800 to make adjustments ).

But oh, yeah, YouSee is cable and not ADSL - forgot that. I guess they might count TV and Data separately, then.
