It goes without saying that self hosting uses a lot of bandwidth. But I’m curious… how much do y’all use? Post your stats!

    What exactly are you self-hosting that’s gobbling up that much data? I’ve been self-hosting my website for decades and haven’t used that much over all that time let alone in one month.

    Most of my bandwidth consumption is from torrents and downloading Steam games, but even that doesn’t get me to even 1tb/month.

      Video is what gobbles up that much data. They likely have friends and family streaming from their media server.

        40 TiB per month are 1.3 TiB daily. Even at 10 GiB per movie that’s 100 movies every single day. I doubt that is the reason.
