Spiders can take up your bandwidth yes, most of it is due to the loading of images and files of no usewitch are irelivant to the indexing process anyway. Use this to keep spiders from getting to your images and files that are no needed for content:

make a file named robots.txt and stick this in it. upload it to your ROOT public_html folder.
