I got a problem as my recently built pc keeps downloading huge amount of
data.
I have no idea that amount of data where were they gone and what files were
they downloading?

I have installed P2P program and would like to know, if possible, any tools
can monitor what files my pc were downloading?

use SEARCH and do a date scan.

disable the P2P program for a bit and see if that is what the cause is.
not a good idea to be running a P2P program and not know what it is doing.

I used Process Monitor to track problems.

There are settings/filters to help you pin point disk drive activities.

What makes you think your PC is downloading huge amounts of data?

What P2P program did you install and why did you install it?

It is generally not okay for your PC to download things you don't know
about. Things you know about might be okay if you are in control.

If you think things are downloading things for no reason or are too
large, getting a tool to monitor it will help you monitor it.

What are you going to do after you finish monitoring it?

Do you want to monitor it, understand it, control it or stop it?

JS,

That wouldn't give you the download usage but the process utilisation

Yes but if the computer is in the mode of downloading the
"Huge amount of data" it might help identify what underlying
application is that cause.

---What makes you think your PC is downloading huge amounts of data?

First of all, I checked with my ISP webpage my download usage found that the
meter showed I had download a huge amount of data.
Then checked with my P2P files, they had been finished a small amount.
ie. Before start P2P, file remaining: 500 MB
After 1 hour, file remaing: 400 MB
But the ISP meter showed I had downloaded 500 MB.

Also I used the freeware to monitor my pc dowload usage during my
downloading last 2 nights and noticed similar things:
In 30 minutes of time, P2P file remaining just reduced by 30 MB, but the
tools showed downloaded usage was 100MB.
So my P2P program put these extra 70 MB into somewhere.


---What P2P program did you install and why did you install it?

I am using eMule.
The REASON I installed this for downloading file, obviously.

---It is generally not okay for your PC to download things you don't know
about.

I know I am download certain files that I chosed

---If you think things are downloading things for no reason or are too
large, getting a tool to monitor it will help you monitor it.

Yes, that's why I am asking here.

I sort of get it now.

I don't use eMute and I don't know if my ISP has a meter for how much
I download (which would not be very much).

Do you have a limit per day?

Now that there is more information maybe somebody familiar with those
methods can help you out.

Still could do that throught Task Manager

It sounds like the user is an ultrapeer in his/her P2P program which will
cause the issue being faced
