Suspicious Constant Bandwidth Usage?

[aesir150]

Hi I am new to the forums but I have a questions.

 

I have a program that monitors my bandwidth usage and speed. When I have bittorrent on, I see that Bittorrent is constantly using a minimum of 30 KBs of both upload and download even when I have no active torrents. Meaning I am not seeding anything or downloading anything but yet its still uploading at 30 KBs and downloading 30 KBs.

 

What is it downloading and uploading? Why is it doing this?

 

I have been using bittorrent for a while now, I just never noticed this till now.


And I know its for sure its bittorrent that is using up that constant bandwidth because when I turn off bittorrent my download usage is 0 KBs and upload usage is only 116 bytes due to steam and skype..
