I left my computer all night for uploading and didnt leave anything to download. When i woke up this morning i saw more than 1gb data downloaded, now my computer seems to download stuff. I dont even know what it is and its constantly downloading stuff. Can i somehow disable this??

Thnx.

Virus scan has been done and nothing showed up. I am using npf and its up to date. I go this info from the connections status (internet icons in system tray)

How much have you uploaded cause i guess you would get some responce data from the upload destination ?? But 1 gig seems harsh :unsure: ! Do you have a firewall?

I uploaded 3gb last night. I am on NPF. One more thing norton keeps telling me that i am being attacked by someone who has the same ip has mine. Does this mean i am attacking myself. :huh:

have a look in the logs for NPF and check for activity when you left you comp on and see if anything odd turns up.
Could be some stupid Trojan horse or similar :angry: nasty things :angry:

did you actually have any files?
in order to keep a connection open, you&#39;re gonna be passin packets both ways...that seems like a lot though.
It&#39;s probably just normal traffic.
