Well, there are definitely ways for it to happen :-)

Have you got access to the raw logs? Having a good squint at those (and
running them through a stats program like Webalizer or Analog) will reveal
if one particular IP is sucking a huge amount, or if there's an image file
that someone else is referencing on their site. You could also see if you
can get the host to give you a breakdown by protocol or by port, so you can
isolate the type of traffic that's eating your bandwidth.

Another possibility is that you've accidentally uploaded a huge image
without compressing it first (e.g. you put the 2048x1024 tif version of your
logo up instead of the small jpg), although I would have thought your
visitors would be complaining about the download time if this is the case.

Cheers
Jon
