Answer 1

Typically, desktops receive a lot more traffic than it sends.  Are you running a bittorrent or other p2p program?  If not, check for spyware and or viruses.  One other explanation might be you are getting packet loss on transmit from your desktop so the extra packets sent are TCP retransmissions.
