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!

My main server has 28 tb up and 8tb down checked via my router.

This is for the Lemmy.World server (just the physical box, not the related VMs). Around 12TB last month.

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.

I seed what you did there.

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

I've got about 25tb of Anna's seeded, plus ArchiveTeam warrior running. I don't look at my usage lol

no details at the moment, but I upload nearly 1Tb / day of media. so 25TB per month UPLOAD, you can imagine my downloads.

That looks like me, back when i still had space on my server :(

Anyone wants to donate a couple of 8+ tb drives?

About half a terabyte per month. My router doesn't write the logs to disk so I don't have any detailed statistics.

[-] sirboozebum@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

What are people using to monitor this?

[-] beerclue@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I use the reporting tools on my opnsense box.

[-] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Enough for xfinity to charge their bullshit fee for going over 1.2TB in December. Not enough to justify paying for unlimited data every month.

[-] numanair@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

I switched partly because of this. Now I pay less and have symmetrical speeds!
