This is confusing.  Not your post, the way disk usage is reported.

On the site's usage page in the admin GUI:

Disk Space Used (MB)  5,009.52 
Disk Space Free (MB)  4,990.48  
Percentage Used  50% 
 
Then:

Anonymous FTP (MB):  1124.18 of 10000 (11%) 
Usage Logs (MB): 6873.13 of 10000 (69%) 

Followed by all the users, a total of 1002MB.

How can the top of the page show disk space used is 5GB when the logs
themselves are over 6GB?
