thewisperer Premium join:2008-01-16	High upload at sub: World of Warcraft? I see a sub has high upload for the last two hours: I torch it and see 150 open connections. I know them well so I call and his son says he is doing a World of Warcraft update. No p2p program running: Is that how WOW updates: of every other player. In settings he cannot see how to limit upload Good thing is: I do: lol

Jerm join:2000-04-10 Richland, WA kudos:2	reply to thewisperer This is your only p2p user?
