I'd been leaving Origin running to chat with friends like I do on Steam... but as of today I looked and somehow my total D/L since the beginning of the month has hit 87GB, U/L 13GB. WTF.

Is Origin doing some P2P update sharing in the background I don't know about? I've NEVER had this machine use up so much bandwidth before.

87GB?! Mate something you're leaving on has internet-issues, but I don't think it's Origin

The moment I started leaving Origin off instead of on (today), it instantly stopped climbing.

I don't know what else to think.

Any Torrent program going?

Also, what did you use to check your total UL/DL usage?

Nope, that's what I would have thought too. But I have an entirely separate machine to do any torrenting things on.

I'm just using the simple network meter gadget. I don't know that it's been perfect all this time, but the current readings are way outside of what I normally see out of it.

Game uses less than 100 megabytes an hour (during gold/plat match). So unless you redownloaded the game multiple times or played the game 24/7 then no it's not origin. Doesn't your ISP have a way to show you your internet usage? Because a simple network meter will also count your local network traffic, so coping big files across your local network will also be counted.

All I know is that I started leaving Origin off except for the few hours I've played the last two days, and my download total stopped shrieking upward. (Only about 1.3GB/Down in those two days; 87GB since 8/1 would have been 4.5GB/day!)

I'm certainly not telling Origin to download anything. Doesn't mean it isn't.

I am pretty much the entire network; there's no real sharing going on with it. And that would make the desktop's upload total insane, since it's essentially the server.

Whatever it is, turning Origin off seems to fix it... so Origin's staying off.

You might wanna get onto EA support about this if you think it is an Origin issue

What if you run Origin in offline mode? It won't affect your connection in Mass Effect 3.

"All I know is that I started leaving Origin off except for the few hours I've played the last two days, and my download total stopped shrieking upward."

Yes, no offense, thats all you know. That doesn't mean it was Orgin. Could be Orgin is messing up with your measuring tool. Or maybe you have settings in your router or firewall that when the ports go from closed to listening, it opens access. With that much download, its likly a infection of some kind. And is that the bandwidth use of your network or that computer? I would fact check it and talk to your ISP.
