excessive download of data

[koshikas]

i still cant say how it happens, but sometimes all of a sudden, feeder consumes in excess of 1GB(sometimes even 2GB) of data for no reason. i havent subscribed to any heavy feeds as such.

That is quite crazy.

A feed is only a couple of 100 kilobytes, max, typically. So it's not that.

Have you enabled "full article by default" on any feeds? I would guess that is where it happens.

so it strikes again, this time i had sync setup to be done manually, i did not rush to sync, but somehow it happened again.

[spacecowboy]

Are you using the Device Sync feature?

[koshikas]

nope

[spacecowboy]

Crazy idea. You can't by any chance see traffic statistics on your WiFi router by any chance? See if there is a particular website related to the traffic?

[koshikas]

let me do that going forward, will report back with my findings
