Did she set the connection as "metered"? I know some things stop then.

The $200 is likely from the automatic updates, which were pretty big. How much extra in MB was it?

It's likely from the automatic _sharing_ of automatic updates.

I think at this point she's has closer to a gig of data. Honestly the only thing I can think is that the download itself plus seeding it to other computers nearby got her to that number. But that's a guess.
