Jon and Tom, Yes, I follow that point and it seems very fair. But I have done very little FTP work recently. I change one page with the current ezine two or three times a month, and maybe a little other when I remember, which has maybe been two or three times in the two months.
The pages are pretty small being practically all text. I find it difficult to believe that the difference in their new way of measuring reflects that FTP work. That is why, if there is a way for it to happen, I wonder if there is some unauthorised usage of my bandwidth. As I said I find the host very good and helpful, for the price excellent. I am stull puzzled. ...Except.... email; damn spam!
