It's normally around ~6-7GB (but it's got other parameters logged too).
I have to admit... I only read one in every two.I hope you read line by line

The Robots section isn’t the problem, it’s the very large number of ‘guests’ (15k+ which actually are ‘bots’) all downloading and using up the server’s resources.
It looks as though the problem could be Brazil and mainly South American countries have been ‘infected’ and between them they all turn on a target, i.e. us, or any of the sites around the world. It looks like it wants information (AI) as opposed to downright DDoS because it lasts 30 minutes or so and then starts on someone else, but who knows.
If it keeps happening we might end up temporarily blocking whole countries until it’s stopped.

They have swapped to having South American plus other countrys too. Very irritating. There are other options available, like Cloudfare, but these have problems too (one mode of failure etc.).
