i installed tixati on 2/28 and it's been running great especially since i realized it wasn't tixati that was stopping the seeding before it reached a 1:1 ratio. however friday i noticed that my bandwidth usage was higher than it should be. till this morning i left it along cause it wasn't putting me over my cap. this morning i decided to ferret out the problem, and found when i completely shutdown tixati my usage goes back to what it should be. before i shutdown tixati 1meg every 3 or 4 seconds was being used. to be honest i wouldn't even begin to know what happened. any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

i solved this by turning off channels.
