For no reason I am downloading something using my full bandwidth, 9MB.

I have looked at the IP addresses and can account for each site I'm connected to.

Its not updates from M$oft.

Happens when accessing different sites. Random in starting. Only started after upgrading to Firefox v 13.0

IP addresses that downloads come from are, 85.17.172.87 95.211.185.133 95.211.185.137

Believe these are associated with FileFactory.

I download and upload to Filefactory.

Is firefox trying to redownload files, or aborted files?

This is definitely being downloaded with Firefox.

Site logged into makes no difference.

Close Firefox and the download stops.

Tried going back to v12 and problem still occurring.

If no results soon I'll be abandoning Firefox.
