If your blog is being spammed then yes that is taking up a lot of your bandwidth (depends on how much spam is actually made though). If you can figure out the IP of the spammers then you should block them, or install a basic anti-spam measure at least. I also noticed on your analytics stats that a lot of your traffic is coming in from referring sites such as "trafficspammer.com" obviously to be that site seems like a spam site which targets websites. Either way with your stats shown on the Analytics you shouldn't be using 80GB of bandwidth unless you offer huge file downloads or your pages are huge.

yeah last few weeks i do have using trafficspammer to get a better traffic rate, but after notice that the massive spam comment they made i already stopped the service and i don't have downloads made from my site.

anyway my forum doesnt have any download file upload so far.

and today 3rd day my bandwidth already gone up to 20gb out of 120gb

sigh..

Check your Bandwidth logs. You will see a site or two which stands out. Make sure you block that site and IP. You will most likely be shut down by your host for overusing resources at a fast rate.

Well that's what's using your bandwidth. Do as David said.
