| skype massive upload? I had posted this a long time ago.
I see a sub with high upload for the last hour: turn upload to max and its uploading at 2 meg.
Call him up and turns out skype is on but not being used.
Shut it off and it disappears.
What is being uploaded from his computer that can go on for hours? |

kudos:1 | I don't know if Skype changed much since MS took it over or if it is still a P2P distributed address book. In the past, a well (long) connected client would become a supernode. I forget what metrics were used but think it was similar to how a POS computer could become a MS Master Browser.
Does the traffic resume when the client resumes?

They shut off skype all ok: I did not have them turn it back on
I will keep an eye on it. I still don't understand what its uploading.

kudos:4 | reply to thewisperer
It is for this reason I dont leave Skype running any longer than the call I am using it for.
I had it burn through a bunch of my quota back in Australia one time, that was not fun or welcome! :-/ |
