I have a seedbox with 1TB for traffic and I'm using ruTorrent. I downloaded a few current tv shows and a movie totaling @6gig and left the torrents there to seed. My traffic was at 2% used after 2 days. Then I added a 16 gig file of old comics. It had 2 seeders and 1 leecher -- 3 seeders counting me. After 2 days, I noticed my traffic was at 74% used. How exactly did that happen?

I blew threw nearly all of my traffic in 4 days on a file that's not really that much in demand, tho it is a big one. I already know I need to up my traffic amount, I started at Seedhost's lowest level just to dip my toe in the water, but even if I had 3 or 4 TB it wouldn't last a week at this rate.

How does 1 leecher, even downloading a 16 gig file, pull more traffic than the other 6 gigs that had multiple seeders and leechers? Math isn't my strong suit, but something isn't adding up here. I haven't figured out how to read the info that ruTorrent is giving me, so the answer may be right under my nose.

Any help here is greatly appreciated!
