How much bandwidth does you forum use? Monthly or weekly (however you have the stats)

Comparing transfer usage seems a little pointless without also providing the percentage used by php files. Since different boards have different numbers and sizes of images on them.

How much is really being used by the board software and how much by images uploaded to the site?

And then, would one consider smilies integral to a forum or not? Should they be included?

Is Gzip compression on or off? That seems to make a big difference.

My main board used 28Gb last month (88.16% .php), but it had Gzip on for the first part of the month and then I had to turn it off, so the figure is pretty meaningless.
