Since about a month ago my internet usage has climbed dramatically. I tracked it down to a System process, PID 4, downloading a lot of data when uTorrent runs. This didn't used to happen, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the newer versions. It happens with the latest beta.

Without uTorrent running PID 4 downloads maybe 4kb/s, when I start uTorrent this rapidly climbs to over 40kb/s, and slowly decays after I quit uTorrent.

This is killing uTorrent for me, I can't keep it running as that's over 1GB/day often near 2GB/day, and I have caps on my usage (damn OZ and it's internet caps)

As my usage never used to show this I assume it's a problem introduced in the newer releases, can this please be fixed so I can use uTorrent again.

How do I link files instead of dumping them in code blocks?

This is my System.txt file:
