All internet traffic which comes through your phone line (or cable service) counts towards your total usage. That includes e-mails, web browsing, downloading from Youtube, P2P downloads, P2P streaming and everything else. Your ISP simply records the number of bytes which is sent to you. Even though P2P networks bypass central websites, they can't bypass your connection to the internet through your ISP.

Yes.

And transfer of any kind will count.
