Bandwidth Usage Monitoring

Just the other night, I went from using 315MB for the entire month of December to now over 800MB. I then kept hitting the commend telling me what my data allotment was at every few minutes, and it was going up by a meg every two minutes or so. I turned off everything that was automatic, ActiveSync, weather, twitter, and it was still climbing but just not as fast. Finally I turned off the Data Connection, and that ended it.
So now I have a lowly 180MB for the rest of this month. Any suggestions?

SPB wireless monitor will tell you how much data you use. It's $20 though. I don't know of any freeware, but there may be some.

I already have a command from my cell carrier that does that - tells me how much data I've used. What I looking for is an app that tells me what program/executable/service/process is using the data and maybe even how much (but that might be a stretch). If I could know what app is leaking all my data I could just kill that app. It could be the build too. I moved to NRG's recent 29005. I may swing back to 23150.

I did a hard reset and then Task29 and again - the data still flowed like crazy. I went back to the 23150 build and even with twitter, RSS hub, weather, and ActiveSync it's barely moving up. So it must be something in the 29005 build...

Just FYI, spbwireless tells you what application is using bandwidth and how much. I haven't used it much, so I am not sure if it logs usages/application. However, it does show what program(s) is(are) actively using data and how much.
