I found something is eating 100KB of my rx Internet connection.
Doing iftop I found that most data is coming from 69.31.72.192.
Running this command line:
lsof -P -i -n | cut -f 1 -d " " | uniq
the list of processes is this
UserEvent
SystemUIS
Finder
sharingd
Dropbox
Google
Dropbox syncing is paused, Google goes away if I close Chrome, but the connection
is eaten anyway…
I came from linux and it is really shocking to see the system eating resources without knowing what is going on…
My four suspects are
UserEvent
SystemUIS
Finder
sharingd
I actually have two questions:
- How can I check which is the exact process that eats the connection?
- Can I take control on how the process(es) use my connection (which is really limited)?

Activity Monitor has a network tab which should show you what you need. It has columns for process and sent/received packets & bytes.
