Hi, I was trying to debug my network code for a game I'm making using the wireshark packet sniffer. When I started the packet sniffing process I discovered something odd. 99% of all the packets that have been sent in the last hour are from my computer to a variety of different ip addresses on port 'eye2eye' this port is port 1948. The total amount of packets sent and recieved is phenomenal in the last half hour alone my computer has sent 135,247 packets and recieved 130,330 packets. This compared to my laptop with the same applications running with sent 850 and recieved 800. If you want I have pictures of the before and after as well as a screenshot of wireshark. BTW for that half an hour I just walked out of the room and did not touch the computer. Has anyone had the same problem? On google I found a conversation about this but they didn't post how to fix it or what they found the problem to be. My virus and spyware scans don't show anything to be a problem. I know this probably isn't the right place to post this but I would be very grateful if anyone can shed some light on this. EDIT: just to say there were no downloaders or anything of that sort running for that time. EDIT2: Annoyingly I just managed to find out what was causing it about 15 minutes after I posted this. It turns out that when you stop bbc iplayer from downloading and then close it it still transmits data to other computers even though you can't see its process running in the processes tab under ctrl alt del.
