Data transfer during idling

[Mersault]

Hi,

I've been wondering if there is data transfer on my broadband line when I am not browsing at all, I mean, when the system is idle.

Recently, I saw my system has been transferring data with speed at 2 Kbps, when it was idling. Is it normal?

Thanks.

You need to check the software that is running. If some software is running in background, it could be updating while the system idling. It is not unusual.
