I am trying to figure out why my server receives about 20mb data a day, even when there's no-one here browsing the web etc. I can imagine a meg or two of emails, but the rest I can't account for. Looking at my Apache logs I see about 5,000 http requests a day for urls that are not on my server, mainly porn, gambling, advertsing etc. These return code 404 as expected. I was wondering if these failed reequests could account for 10-20mbytes a day.
