Q: "nsurlsessiond" downloads data in background

"nsurlsessiond" downloads data in background and it is consuming bandwidth of my Internet connection due to which I am not able to use the system.  Please fix this bug as its on high priority. Please fix this issue as its very destructive service which is running in background. Its being 1 week I have got my MacBook and my whole Internet is being used in just 3 to 4 days, then check in "Activity Monitor" that this service is continuously consuming internet in background and I tried to stop it also, but its restarts at that time. So its very destructive service and its the biggest bug in the "Yosemite" please fix it soon, so that we can use the Mac machine to resume our work, this issue is stopping my online work.

Hope you understand the issue". I am ready to explain if you are unable to understand the issue.

 

Regards,

Ankit Singh
