Well, what's interesting is that when I shut down FIREFOX and went to Chrome the high traffic pretty much stopped.
I guess the problem is temporarily fixed - Of course I still don't know how or why....

Sorry, I don't know what you mean by code tags.

Also,

Here is what comes up in terminal. I don't know how to interpret all this, so more help will be appreciated. Should I go ahead and kill it, or will you need this data?

Ok. I've got it. I'll let you if it makes a difference. Thanks

I am very disgusted with Oneric. I despise the launcher because it pops out any time I come close to the right edge of the screen - except when I want it and then I have to **** with it. Also, I was...

Great! Thanks again

Thanks Q-Lee.
I'm a little above an absolute beginner, but far from a power user. As I said above, it was the note on the upgrade saying "You likely do not want to install this package directly"...

Thank you. My problem was with the note at the bottom of the update that said "You likely do not want to install this package directly."
I usually do install updates as they come in, but this one...
