A netstat -a isn't really necessary to see applications actually using the internet.

If you are interested in what's actually using the connections use Task Manager and the processes tab to see the PIDs of the applications, then try netstat -o and match up the process IDs against those given in the netstat.

Most of the connections you are showing there are in the process of closing.
