Make sure GZIP is enabled:
Admin CP -> vBulletin Options -> Cookies and HTTP Header Options -> GZIP HTML Output
Graphical layouts can also increase bandwidth usage. -
I check it out and that is enabled.
Maybe is something about guests viewing attachments?
For example, when I check who is online, always can find some
guests watching some attachments. Strange thing is because that
activity has no link to see what post guest is looking.Comment

By default settings in Usergroup for Unregistered / Not Logged In (Guest), it has this disable: Forum Viewing Permissions > Can Download Attachments [No]
It can depend what your site has or how many guest visit your site.Comment

That option whose NO but I still guests that viewing attachments.

There should be a image next to the guest's location because they do not have permission to view attachments. They will still be shown as viewing it, but they don't have access.Comment

GZIP makes your forum pages load faster because they are smaller. It is recommended that you leave it enabled and use level 1 compression.Comment

Crawlers should be included.
GZIP is the best way to reduce bandwidth usage. There aren't any other easy ways to reduce bandwidth unless you start removing some page content like large images.Comment

All my large image are hosted at imageshuck.us or other file hosting site.
Is that affecting my bandwith?

How can I tell if these "mods" are enabled on a shared server and what will happen if they are and "GZIP HTML Output" is enabled anyway?Comment

You can look on your PHPInfo under Maintenance -> View PHP Info. Later versions of PHP will list the Apache modules installed. If they are not listed, then you will need to contact your hosting provider and ask them.

Is it possible to move it all avatars and signature pics from my server (at ones) to some free host? I think that they cause my big bandwidth.Comment

This requires modifying the code, (i.e., 'hacks' or with plugins.) We can't offer official support for code modifications or for forums running modified code. But we do have a customization site and forums, however, with people that may be willing to help you with this.
Please visit http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/ and ask for help there in the appropriate forum. You will need to register on those forums and enter your forum email address on this form in order to get access:
