Ridiculous amount of applications using the internet
Hey guys,

My internet has been getting very very slow lately.

I've discovered that it is to do with the amount of applications connect to my internet.

I have done a netstat and these are the results:

Re: Ridiculous amount of applications using the internet
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.

Try following the above to try and ascertain what is actually connecting to what first.

Process ID, each process has an associated ID number.

Re: Ridiculous amount of applications using the internet
In task manager, choose view -> select columns and tick the PID box.

The resulting numbers should match up with the netstat -o output.

Firefox, indeed most browsers, will open multiple connections to speed page loading.
