Network Usage

[Jeust]

Can anyone tell me why everything.exe is using bandwidth per the Resource Monitor?
I was looking to see what might be slowing my computer, and while everything is certainly not the culprit - I was surprised that it uses anything. I do not have updates checked.

I am using Everything-1.3.4.686 x64

Everything uses the loopback adapter to communicate between the client and service.

Traffic over the loopback adapter is strictly local only.

You can confirm this by running a command prompt and typing:

Code: Select all

netstat -abn

You should see something like:

Code: Select all

 TCP    127.0.0.1:15485        0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING
[Everything.exe]
 TCP    127.0.0.1:15485        127.0.0.1:49185        ESTABLISHED
[Everything.exe]
 TCP    127.0.0.1:49185        127.0.0.1:15485        ESTABLISHED
[Everything.exe]

127.0.0.1 is the loopback adapter.

If you do not want Everything to use any local network traffic, the service can be disabled from Tools -> Options -> General.
However, you will need to run Everything as administrator if you wish to index NTFS volumes.
