...but obviously I don't :(

So if you have 62887132 kb of transfer in a month.
How much GB would that be?

Hi,
I think it's around 60gb if i'm correct.

1 GB = 1000 MB = 1000000 kB.

62887132 kB = 62.887132 GB.

(For the power-of-two zealots out there, I'll mention that we're talking about *transfer* here, and transfer rates have always been expressed with base 10 prefixes.)

You sure? That would be too easy wouldn't it? :D

Hi!
Actually it goes like this.
1024 bytes = 1KB
1024 k = 1M
1024 M = 1G
That is it goes in powers of 1024 and not 1000
So it would come to around 60GB.

I guess this would make things easier for you.

Have a great day :)

Well, somebody is evidently a zealot. ;)

Quick quiz:

1. How many bits per second is 14.4kbps?
2. How many bits per second is 33.6kbps?
3. How many bits per second is 100Mbps?
4. How many bits per second is 1Gbps?
5. How many bits are there in a gigabit?

Wow.... :)
Actually in india most of the companies ask such questions in the screening test they conduct for placements. Whenever I saw these my determination to start my own business grew.. I knew it was easier than this... ;)

Anyway, one point I'd like to mention here.
bits per second is not the same as bytes per second.
8 bits = 1 byte.
So actually
14.4 kilo bits per second (written as kbps or k) is equivalent to 1.8 kilo bytes per second (written as Kbps or K )

have a great day :)

Thanks ppl ;) 60-62 GB's is close enough for me.

That's a range of 3%. What are you, an engineer? ;)

Nope, just a webhoster. If I were an engineer I'ld advise you NOT to drive over a bridge I designed :D

Anyway, the webalizer gives me the 60 (62) MB figure. The system (RAQ) gives me a 74 GB figure. So you see I have bigger things to worry about than just 2 GB :)

Heh, the bridge will make it to the other side, give or take 3%...

I see you might be having a bandwidth leakage also ( 2 conflicting reports of bandwidth usage ), whch I have on 1 server it's a difference of less than 3% now

try this. can you confirm that webalizer is getting the e-mail b/w.

also can you confirm that your time line is the same ( date & time )
that part ajusted everything.
