How to calculate bandwidth usage

[tippiedog]

My account is up for annual renewal, and I want to decide whether to stick with the current package or change packages. Since FQ has added so many features to most of the packages, the biggest factor for me is bandwidth.

I think I know how to find my current bandwidth usage, but just want to confirm:

1. Go to http://<sitename>/stats/
2. Click on 'Statistics for last 12 months'
3. On the 'Short Stats by month' page, look at the 'Kbytes sent' column for each month
4. Convert KB to GB by moving the decimal point 6 digits to the left.

So, that says I sent 4769311 KB last month, which would be 4.7 GB, right?

Hello,

That would be the correct location to get a historical perspective of your Bandwidth usage.

Your calculations would be a quick and dirty approach, to get the true amount of transfer used divide 4769311 by 1024 and then divide the results once again by 1024...

(4769311/1024)/1024
4769311 / 1024 = 4657.5 MB / 1024 = 4.548 GB

Hope this helps

Or divide by 1048576 once
