How do I find out which process is eating up my bandwidth?
Sometimes there is unusual internet activity on my Computer. The modem's lights are always blinking and when I open system monitor, I see there some unknown program is using my precious internet with 64KB/S (I have 512kbps connection). I am in a firefox session with only one tab opened, and the page is already loaded and there is no busy sign in the page (that rotating orange circle).
In that situation I unplug my modem and reconnect it again. After several times doing this, that unusual activity stops. It annoys me very much.
How can I find out the process which is using the Internet?. How much it is using? How can I kill it?
A graphical solution will be better.
sudo apt-get install nethogs)sudo nethogs <interface>(interface can be eth0, wlan0, etc.), and observe it for a while:htop(install if necessary) to "graphically" kill the process. You will probably get better results by telling us which process it is and then disabling it, instead of swatting it like a fly every time it pops up ;)Maybe IPTraf can help you.
I don't use it, but it seems to do what you need.
