My Rasplex device is setup standard with nothing special added. I’m seeing a consistent 0.24Mbp/s total bandwidth usage while idle… I was 9,000 miles away with no one at home to stream a thing locally or over the internet and it still held a constant data flow. It’s 0.23Mbp/s upstream and 0.01Mbp/s downstream constantly. What is this doing? How can I stop this madness? ---

Your Rasplex Client is uploading? Do you have anon statistics enabled perhaps? Disabled SSH and SAMBA? Is it outbound (WAN) traffic or local traffic? ---

Not sure what’s up. I did the rookie thing and rebooted. It dropped back down to negligible amounts of bandwidth. Crazy times. ---
