Download unwanted background activity

I think that the problem started about a week ago, when I've upgraded to Firefox 28, at least I didn't notice this problem before.

I use the Flashgot addon and the Free Download Manager to manage my downloads. But recently with some servers (that I had used regularly for years without problem) FDM would begin the download, but it sat at 0% for a while and then just switch to pause on his own. I received a message it's because the server only allows one download at a time and there was already a current download which I didn't know anything about.
I also noticed that even the servers that were working were much slower download that they did usually and use of the web in general has been slow. I checked what was going on with a program called Netbalancer which shows us that Firefox has been constantly upward from a lot of bandwidth even if there is no Web pages or videos from loading and nothing appears in the integrated Download Manager. I tried closing Firefox, but that didn't fix it either. The same amount of bandwidth used now listed by Netbalancer as traffic Service.

This happens whenever I have download anything on the web. As soon as the download dialog window Firefox apparently already starts to download the file in the background even if I decide to simply close the window or use FDM instead. It does not appear in the Firefox download window and it there is no way to stop the download other than doing a reboot or waiting until Firefox has finished downloading the file, even if it takes several hours!

So far I tried upgrade to Firefox 29, demotion to 21 I've used before, deleting my profile, do a clean installation of 21 and check my system anti-malware with several tools, but nothing helped. I also tried to download the same files with Internet Explorer + FDM and it worked without problem.

Just found this topic:
http://forums.Avg.com/us-en/AVG-forums?sec=thread & Act = Show & ID = 242984

disabled AVG and it seems that the problem is resolved.

Quote:
"All by building a Python/ball sse simple streaming server, I found a problem related to the closing of the connections of firefox." It turns out that the problem is caused by 2014 AVG surf-shield.

The complete problem is stated in this post on StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23580395/flask-sse-stream-not-terminated-after-firefox-disconnects. The point is that when the surf-shield is, for the moment firefox disconnects from the server, either by closing the tab or to reload the page, encode it disconnect TCP is not finished properly, which leaves the connection open. The TCP State on the side of Firefox crashes in FIN_WAIT2, while side server hangs in CLOSE_WAIT. This leads to a considerable waste of resources, because the streaming threads continue to run on the side server. This has been verified on several machines and is not a problem, when another antivirus protection system is used or surf-shield is off. Other browsers do not seem to be affected either.

If it is indeed a bug in AVG surf-shield, perhaps this is something worth fixing. I do not know to what extent this will spread to all servers, but if this is the case, this could cause some important questions. "

  • IOS 5 s 10 Messages background activity cause battery drain

    Hello

    After I got updated to 10.0.1 on my iPhone iOS 5 I noticed that more than 45% of the use of the battery is for 'Activity from bottom of Messages'. Is this some kind of a bug? Is there a temporary solution for this? [image attached]

    Thank you.

    Hello isurusam,
    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your post using your posts up to 44% of your usage time of battery after update to iOS 10.0.1. I recommend maximizing your battery life by following the advice in the article from the link below:

    Maximize the life of the battery and battery life

    Background activity. This indicates that the battery has been used by the application while he was in the background - in other words, while you were using another application.

    • To improve the battery life, you can disable the feature that allows applications to background refresh. Go to settings > general > background App refresh and turn the switch to Off.

  • Screen not displayed while doing a background activity

    Hello

    There are many resources in this forum on it and I tried most of them, but none of them does not work for me.

    I want to display full screen while doing a background activity. I have:

    1. created the screen with a class that extends the class screen
    2. created a thread with my function activity of bottom ending with poping up on the screen.
    3. pushScreen()
    4. thread. Run()

    The right way to start a thread is thread.start (), not thread.run)

    If you call thread.run (), you simply run the Runnable class run() method with your own feed of the event, and this is what causes the screen to display * after * your activity of 'background' (which really exists in the foreground) ends.

  • Remove unwanted background does not

    To use the images on PowerPoint, I often remove unwanted background of the image.  In order to make sure that the image is on a Word with layer 0.  I then select a mask.  To ensure that I have on the mask and use the brush etc. to add to the mask the bits I want to delete.  The selection shows to remove black-and-white authorization (or catering areas I wrongly deleted). That's how I used it in the past with no problems.  Now, the selection mask shows gray and he is only partially remove the background.  It's it's doing sort of transparency.  I don't remember making any selection as.  I do not see how to restsore the normal selection mask black, which removes all the unwanted image part.

  • Battery - background activity to App Store

    I know that the last thing that needs Community Support of Apple is another complaint of battery, however, this case appears to be different then all the others that I've seen here and I am completely baffled.

    Just within the last 48 hours, my phone has been draining the battery faster then normal.  I have not modified the special parameters that would have affected this.  I kept an eye on what the parameters of the battery said uses my battery the most.

    Earlier, I noticed that after only be awake for 4 hours today (with virtually any phone use because I'm at work) my battery is at 18% already and the phone feels hot.

    Some information more: my job is not a WiFi for us to use (sh * t I know) so I manipulated strongly what applications use data because I often go to my data plan 4 - 5 times per month (AT & T *)... in any case. I have the cellular data disabled for the purposes of the App Store, but, when I checked my battery today use to see what happened to drain my battery so quickly, that he showed to 4.2 hours of use of the background.

    I tried soft - reset my phone, and am probably going to try restore later today, however seem to help anything.

    I really try to avoid going to the Apple Store to get it checked since the Mall is on the last place on Earth, I want to be right now.

    Any suggestions?

    Also disable auto downloading music, apps, books und app updates in the settings/iTunes & AppStores?

    To make sure that it is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any data backup later. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.

    If the battery life goes back to normal, the restore to the last backup. If the problem returns, the data backup contains damaged data, causing your issues.

  • Do not download a background image...

    Okay - there seems to be a bit of a bug with the Image download process - for backgrounds. Once you download the new image and watch it load in the portal, you click DONE and the collection you were editing said not "stale". Rest on "published". I signed and also refreshed the page - and also through the menu and back in the article. No joy!

  • jpg superimposed image comes with unwanted background

    Hello.

    I cut out an object from a jpg image and made a new image with a transparent background jpg. Tested on the program - the background of image editing is indeed transparent.

    However, when I try to superimpose the image with a transparent background on a video before, the image is displayed with a white background.

    How can I remove this unwanted white background?

    JPEG may not contain transparency. In your Image editing software, I would choose PNG. If your image editor is Photoshop (regular, or elements), you can also Save_As PSD, which works very well in first.

    When we create transparency, but he then chooses a Save_As, such as JPEG, the Image is placed flat on a white background.

    Good luck

  • How to stop all background activity?

    is it possible, in addition to airplane mode, turning off all the activities background for my phone stops emitting these high emf spikes every two seconds? it emits huge peaks of the emf every two seconds, even if I do not use it.

    I turned off a large part of the services as possible already. I guess it's to keep checking for stuff put to date or for cell towers or something else?

    So basically I guess that what I want is to have my phone act as in airplane mode with the ability to receive calls.

    all I need is to be able to call / text and receive calls / texts. I don't have any other apps, or whatever.

    Thank you.

    You can also try to turn off apps in Settings - General - background app refresh and see the results.

  • How can I open the downloads window only? Or how can I close my browser and open the winodw downloads without an active download?

    I have about a year of downloads to sift through and organize. It means I have many open files that I move the files to the appropriate locations. The last thing I need is to have unnecessarily the browser open between all this mess.

    So... can I close my window of Firefox browser without the automatic reclosing also downloads window? Or better yet, is it possible to just open the downloads window and not the browser window?

    Again, I want to ONLY THE DOWNLOADS WINDOW open, not the browser window. I see that others have asked similar questions, but no one has ever proposed a solution.

    Avoid using the file > exit or the red X button. On the contrary: press Ctrl + j to display the downloads window, and then use Ctrl + w to close the last remaining tabs. The downloads window should remain open. A little luck?

    Are you sure that CoolPreview is not listed under Tools/Add-ons/Extensions?

    So far, everyone who has had this problem been CoolPreview, including me!

    I am also running Windows Vista and have FireFox 3.6.8.

    If you are certain that you do not have CoolPreview suggests trying one or both of the following:

    (1) download and install the current CoolPreview of www.coolpreviews.com. That's what fixed it for me! Even if you do not have coolpreview, it can replace a stray code located on your computer.

    (2) or... Uninstall FireFox completely, restart your computer, and then download and reinstall FireFox.

    One last thought, you are the ONLY user on this machine? Do you have other users sign-ons? If so, someone else may have downloaded and that's where the bad code.
