Subject: [gentoo-user]  Weather thingy using up my network, ALL THE TIME.
Date: Sun, 02 Sep 2012 02:54:27 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <504310B3.8050502@gmail.com> (raw)

Howdy,

I have this little weather "applet" thingy down at the bottom of my
desktop in the thing I think they call the panel.  Anyway, the weather
thing has been sending something for HOURS now.  I have logged out of
KDE, reset the network and even the router just to see if it would die. 
As soon as I login or the router comes back up, it start sending data
again.  I can't get it to stop.  As a last resort, I took the thing off
my panel thingy.  It still sends data like crazy. 

Does anyone know how to kill this thing?  I'd like to surf the net
without this thing hogging up my DSL connection. 

While I am at it.  I'm supposed to get my weather stuff from NOAA or at
least that is where it came from ages ago.  Ever since I went from KDE3
to KDE4, it wants to come from wetter.com which doesn't work to begin
with.  This is what I think it is doing to my network.  It is trying to
get data that doesn't exist to begin with so it just keeps trying. 
Anybody know how to beat this thing silly?  By the way, using iftop,
that is where all this traffic is going to. 

Dale
