gvfsd-http leaves many connections open

[i-am-will]

Looking at the results of both `lsof | grep IPv4` and `netstat -tp` I noticed that I have a lot of connections open from a program called 'gvfsd-http'.

Using google, I found that this was a Filesystem something from Gnome, that would also be used If I drag something from my browser to my desktop.

Though I wonder, how I activated it, because I didn't do that...

After a bit of searching, I noticed that `screenshots.debian.net` uses the same IP address as the one noted (hades.car.gr).

Code: Select all

PING screenshots.debian.net (78.46.20.5) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from hades.car.gr (78.46.20.5): icmp_req=1 ttl=56 time=55.4 ms

Question:
Do I have some tool enabled that maybe sends statistics to debian or so? Where to find it and kill it. . Thanks!

System > Administration click on Update Manager then on the bottom Settings then the tab Statistics. Click off the box and you should be good if not log out then back in.

Thank you. I'll try that.
