No...the discussion I had with my host was based directly on what the webalizer stats said.
I have now read the webalizer stats read me file and this is what it states:
"KBytes
The KBytes (kilobytes) value shows the amount of data, in KB, that was sent out by the server during the specified reportingvperiod.
Thisvvalue is generated directly from the log file, so it is up to the
web server to produce accurate numbers in the logs (some web serversvdo stupid things when it comes to reporting the number of bytes).
In general, this should be a fairly accurate representation of the amount of outgoing traffic the server had, regardless of the web servers reporting quirks.
Note: A kilobyte is 1024 bytes, not 1000
"
The key thing is here is webalizer is calculating using base 2 and not base 10...as stated by the author of the program himself.
