    Angry Network Activity

    Why is this PC always uploading and/or downloading a steady stream of data? even if it is minimum data transfer at less than 300-kbs, it never stops. I already have turned off Ubuntu One cloud and Dropbox, so is ET trying to phone home?

    Use a packet sniffer, such as tcpdump or wireshark, to observe what is going on at the packet level. There is a bit of low level traffic, arp and such, just to enable the network to work. Example (for interface eth0)
    Code:
    sudo tcpdump -n -tttt -i eth0
    Any follow-up information on your issue would be appreciated. Please have the courtesy to report back.

    You could look at "top" to see what processes are running at any given time
    You can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses, as the pig got up and slowly walked away.
