Have been on the phone for hours with HughesNet .. they're telling me there is something running in the background, or downloading information. I have a 500 mega"allowance" a day. It's been disappearing even when I am not connected with Safari. How can I stop this? Where do I begin?
Mac mini, iOS 10
you can see it from activity monitor it shows network traffic
if you need something more down to packet info then you should look at https://www.wireshark.org/download.html
I've checked that ... understand I am not very up on these things. The A.M. has a %CPU .. is that the indicator? It keeps "moving". Which column will give me the answer and how do I correct it? Hughes Net is a bear to deal with. I live in the woods, on a dirt road with NO chance of cable/DSL/Fairpoint ever coming my way. I'm in a "hole" so wireless is out, too .. they also say I have a router, which I do NOT. I've seen my data allowance drop 30% when I've not been connected. Thanks for anything you can tell me. I will check wireshark.org ..
You want to go to the Network tab of Activity Monitor.
MAC MINI - how do I find out if there is something running or downloading in the background?
