unexplained downloads slowing things down |
|
|
i'd like to know how i find out exactly which site things are downloading
from; when i first connect to the net i'm finding several mbs of stuff is
being down/uploaded, and to/from where i have no idea.
i've got winupdate configured to notify, but not automatically download, and
the same with norton anti-virus.
what could it be? it's making it impossible to do anything else but wait. |

Type in a command prompt
netstat -o
to see where you are connected to. You'll see lines like this
TCP serenity:2582 atiam.train.army.mil:http ESTABLISHED 1256
Note the number at the end of the line (1256 here), type in a command prompt
tasklist /fi "PID eq 1256"
To see what application it is. You'll see something like
Image Name PID Session Name Session# Mem Usage
========================= ====== ================ ======== ===========iexplore.exe 1256 Console 0 2,260 K
This works on Pro only. I don't know if netstat is included with Home. If it is look the PID up in Task Manager's Process tab as tasklist isn't included in Home.

many thanks for that david.
yep i've got pro. netstat -0 gives me a lot of information on all the
netstat queries it's possible to make. netstat -a seems to be the one that
gives me the first information you describe below. netstat -b describes
'the executable involved in creating each connection or listening port'
where did you learn this? it's good to be in control of what's happening on
the machine. i'd like to find out more.
