It appears that you have managed to chop off the end of your file, and since MPEG4 files keep their header at the end of the file nothing will touch that file. Sure, much of the data is there, but you would have to know a heck of a lot about it and have some very special software in order to r

iptables can do traffic accounting (I think Lisa gave some good pointers there), but you might also want to *control* the bandwidth usage (say throttle to a low speed when you get over 80% of your limit, or block YouTube after it consumes XX% of the limit). For that the "tc" utility may be used
