Member Bandwith Abuse

Hi,
Just launched my first site. My content is only available for streaming. Currently I'm using a form base login, figuring that the additional cost for something like ProxyPass was not worth it at this point in time. Well I was wrong. Both new signups today used an abnormally high number of bandwidth. One used 32 GB, the other 17 GB.

Looking for some veteran input here. Is this usage indicative of a site vulnerability(ie. members accessing content folders and downloading content)? Does anyone have experience with ProxyPass, and know of its ability to mitigate member bandwidth abuse?
Once this is installed what would be the average daily GB bandwidth limit that is commonly set for daily member usage?
