High bandwidth as post.php constantly calling with action=edit

    Hi

    I am receiving a warning from my hosting company that my monthly bandwidth limit has been reached and it’s only the 4th day of the month.

    When I look at my log files, I can see that post.php is constantly being called for 2 posts, always at 5 seconds past the minute and 18 seconds past the minute, with the action=edit parameter.

    Is this usual behaviour?

    Here is an excerpt from my log files:
