Hi Arthus,
 
Some things to consider:
 
1. Content download jobs
 
2. Active Caching
 
3. Spyware, scumware, malware on your clients or servers
 
4. Someone running warez software (Kaaza, et.al) on one of their
desktops
 
Do a netmon trace on the external interface and see what's happening.
 
HTH,
Tom

        We've been experiencing slow internet connection lately, when I
checked our utilization using the MRTG, I noticed that we're taking so
much of our bandwidth on outbound connections.  This is weird because
yesterday is a non working holiday here and we still experienced the
same thing.  There are some things that I suspect have caused the
problem:  Maybe there's a problem with our ISP, or somebody is using our
connection without us knowing, maybe holes in our configuration which I
would like to check.  In this regard, may I ask what are the things that
I should look for and check for in our system?  How can I tighten up our
proxy/firewall?  We're just using ISA as our firewall?  Hope you can
help me folks!  Thanks a lot!
