I clicked on my Weather Forecast applet settings and it also started sendin= g=20 packets to wetter.com - despite the fact that I have set it to connect to t= he=20 BBC weather RSS feed. Hmm ... > Does anyone know how to kill this thing? I'd like to surf the net > without this thing hogging up my DSL connection. It's not using that many packets, but I agree that it is annoying. The solution is to kill the kio_http that was running it. Use ps, top, lso= f=20 as you prefer to find which PID you should kill. > While I am at it.

In my=20 =2Ekde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc I can see my BBC URI in the=20 weather applet settings, but nothing about wetter.com. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1647858.RSf7yYqiaq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAlBDP5sACgkQVTDTR3kpaLYTpgCg6mbDNS5imcd2TLjTFNJhyCvj x5EAoNvza1WQxoEGIAhhoF1CelWdDiuw =Y7Em -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1647858.RSf7yYqiaq--
