The bad thing about skype is that if you have it on almost always you'll end up being a super-node a get a "pleasure" to route other people's calls. My father-in-law has almost allways his comp on 24/7 and it happened to him. It almost ate up his whole upload bandwidth of 512kb.

So. Angelfire: check that if skype sending and receiving a lot of data when you are not making any calls. Pretty nasty surprise, but I'm sure skype has it covered in some obscure terms of use.

The remedy is to shut down the comp or skype.

I think the teamspeak is very good and made for gaming. Having a skype conference is just eating a lot of bandwidth while gaming.

Flying under radar.
