As per my knowledge the data transfer between the modem and the server is considered as the download or upload, so any data u send over a n/w will be considered and billed.

Ok, thats fine. But how can I share my files on local network and view others? any idea?

when i first bought hathway, i also searched for the same lot....
but no luck.................
so i figured out its not possible when ur connected thru cable modem.....

one thing i suppose can be tried is use of dc++ and establishing a hub,
try it out, but the data will still be counted.....

friends try using skype.com/intl/en/ skype messenger for sharing files in the same network.
Transfer rate is good ( i got upto 800 kbps).
but i dont know if it will be charged under usage limit.
