Solved what is downloading and why?

hi

i have an issue relating to downloading.
i have rainmeter installed and have an ip monitor monitoring my upload n download speed.
and am noticing high download figures when im not downloading anything myself?
is there a way to find out what is down loading at any given time.
to determine weather or not it is malicious for instance..

thanks

You can use perfmon <-- type it in the start menu, then click the network tab. It'll say it there.

i am in windows 7 , maybe it is different, can't recall.

Resmon has Network info:

resmon.jpg

Maybe in vista you have to go via perfmon, then click Resource Monitor to get to it. Either way, it is Resource Monitor which has the Network Tab:

Yha, Vista doesn't have resmon as a exe just permon which in Vista is reliability and performance monitor.

The Win 7 one is a lot more detailed than Vista.

RamMap from SysInternals does a good job of displaying a memory usage bar graph.
