    there would be a combination of uploads and downloads as calls are made into the webserver and data retrieved. If you look at your own browsing usage you normally see about 10% upload traffic as a percentage of your downloads. So if your getting a lot of traffic it would be counting against your downloads.

    With a dynamic site like a forum the percentage could be even higher as people do a lot of posting to the forum and retrieving data to read the forum so there would be a lot of data being passed in both directions

    If your getting a lot of traffic it could be eating your download limit

    Most of it would be upload.
