A few times a day I notice (on gkrellm) that I upload at my maximum speed for about a minute. I have no idea what is doing it, and have been unsuccessful in figuring it out.
First, nethogs doesn't report the activity.
Second, I disabled sshd, and automatic update checks; and I've never used Ubuntu One (and made sure it was disabled). I've even closed all my programs excepting Firefox to see if it would still happen, and it did (and, as soon as I noticed it I closed firefox, but the uploading continued so it's not to blame).
Any ideas? The fact that nethogs doesn't report the activity freaks me out a bit... as if someone exploited something and has my box upload my personal files a little at a time without reporting it.
[I'm still using Ubuntu 10.10.... screw Unity]
