Dumb question?
I have a hard drive attached as Readyshare storage to my NetGear modem which makes it accessible to my home wireless network. I use this hard drive as the repository for the TV programs that I wish to watch.
I use the drive by copying files from the PC to the hard drive, via the network, and watch those programs using a wireless WD entertainment unit, again via the network. Both actions are of course going through the modem.
My question: would either of these actions have any effect on my ISP upload/download quotas? Whenever I transfer files to the device NetGear Genie alerts me to high Internet traffic.
Overall it doesn't seem likely but my usage figures seem to have gone through the roof since I started doing things this way.
