How the bandwidth statistics are calculated
We have tried to make the bandwidth usage calculator as fair and as simple as possible.
What is bandwidth?
Bandwidth is the amount of data used by our servers to send or receive a file from you.
Personal bandwidth usage
Each plan gets a set amount of bandwidth.
For every file you upload or download, bandwidth is used to transfer the file. The bandwidth usage is then added to your account.
If you only part download a file, you will only be credited with the bandwidth usage for the transfer, not the whole file.
You will also not be deducted any bandwidth for a failed upload.
Shared File Bandwidth Usage
When you share files the bandwidth is deducted from the user which downloads the file.
However, if they do not have an account the bandwidth will be deducted from your personal allocation. This helps maintain the fairest balance possible.
