You know how every website is given a set number of space, well every website is also given a set number of bandwidth.
If you go over this limit your site won't work until the end of the month. You use banwidth by how many people veiw your site, how many images you have and where your images are veiwed. For example if someone takes one of my icons/avatars and places it on a popular forum, more people will be seeing it which takes up more of my bandwidth. It works the same if someone takes awhole batch of my icons/avatars and puts them on their site, it wouldn't take up theirs as the image is still linked to my site.
Hope that explains it a little more.
