Bandwidth Usage?

The university I'm in restricts daily bandwidth usage to 4 GB, and I'm wondering how much that would amount to, in terms of:

Youtube videos,

Internet surfing,

Call of Duty 4 online play,

etc.

I have a bandwidth monitor, and it's saying that Call of Duty 4 uses around the same, if not less, than Internet surfing... I find this hard to believe... can anyone back this up?

Thanks in advance.

Contrary to popular belief, online gaming is not bandwidth intensive. All they do is just send information on where each player is and what they're doing, as well as transmitting any messages. It's all very small amounts of data.

Anyway, the only way you're going to use up 4GB in a day is if you're downloading very large files. This isn't a problem for most users I'd imagine, but the 4GB/day restriction would make downloading most games off Steam within a day impossible.

Thanks for the responses.

Do you guys know if this is a reliable program to calculate bandwidth: http://www.bwmonitor.com/?

Also, is there a way to restrict the amount of total bandwidth I can use?

How about Net Limiter 3?

And also could you give me the download link for your program? Thanks.

Also, I put my laptop on hibernate overnight, and the monitor says that I've used around 600 MBs when I was sleeping... do computers really download/upload when the laptop is off?
