this is not a problem. it shows how much total bandwidth u have recieved during the download.

The extra data that has been downloaded is just discarded by Bitcomet, just because it is either a garbage data, or because the piece doesnt match its hash.

This question has been asked several times. I guess these links should answer your queries:

Link 1 | Link 2

If you want to prevent this from happening, either use Azureus ( another torrent Client ) or limit your Maximum Connections per task in Preferences-Advanced
