MWP 2010 Connection to server

Thu Oct 28, 2010 12:14 am

Can someone please tell me why MWP2010 keeps a constant connection to server, which continually uploads/downloads data in the range of 2.1Kbps?. This came to light when running 'tbbmeter'.
Surely MWP2010 should only connect to server at the user time interval for checking mail within settings.

The activity you are seeing is communications between the two .exe files used by MWP. They communicate using 127.0.0.1.

@ Sidewinder
Thank you for taking the time to answer my query.
I now realise that both .exe's use UDP on local loop and that no info is leaving my PC, although my broadband meter makes it look like it is.
Best Regards :D
