Are you aware that you are also billed for data upload whenever you download movies using torrent files.
Whenever your torrent file is done downloading it uploads the same or more downloaded size of the file depending on the number of user downloading that particular file online via torrent.

So note that,Torrent are shared back to other downloaders in fragments.....set your torrent upload speed to 5kb/s still better 0kb/s(if possible) by this your download will be very fast and you can only be billed for the download data.

android phones can only keep records of downloaded files/sezes, not uploaded file/sizes.

You might download a movie of 300mb and share/upload 100mb each (in fragments) back to 20 people online making it 100mb x 20 = 2GB



I hope people will understand this.
Madam upload counts on android data usage as well...

Look, this sharing is not as if you can transfer the data to somebody. Glo's concept of data sharing is you register the person's number after you've subscribed, then both of you will be using the data.
Just like 2 ppl eating from the same plate.

You're using a PC right? Are you sure windows update and other background data usage activities ain't responsible?

@OP sorry about your loss. First thing that came to my mind was someone secretly sharing your data

That's why I don't share coz you may be reasonable in your usage while other party zaps everything. I once shared glo data with my gf & her friend used her phone to be steaming full movies, which ran it out same day angry

Exactly. I don't know why Glo can't make it transferable.
