Hi forum.. I haven't needed you chaps for awhile, but need you now. When I surf the net my ISP statistics show that I am uploading when in fact I am downloading (at least I presume I am) e.g when watching youtube videos. Is my problem due to a bit torrent actually uploading or a YTD  that I downloaded?? I had vuze, azureous on an OLD computer, but have recently purchased a brand new TOWER with Windows 8.1. I had all the info on my old one transferred to new one, but naturally no programmes could be installed.
Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Cheers.If you downloaded a torrent and left the torrent client open, you are seeding that torrent.If you have any free games with Pando Media Booster bundled with them, these games have this service RUNNING and make your system available for others to get game files and updates ETC, and this can cause an upload condition that is unwanted. I had to manually kill Pando Media Booster on a few of my systems when I found it slipped in upon a free game installation. I dont like being the seed when the uploading should be from the original games website servers and not me UNKNOWINGLY offering my hardware out there to become part of the pool of seeds to serve files up for others and suck up "my" upload bandwidth which is 80% less than my download bandwidth. And with the upload choked up with traffic it degrades performance for others on the shared internet connection.

Pando Media Booster (PMB) is an application by Pando Networks that is used by game and software publishers to ensure safe, complete and speedy downloads of large files. PMB is primarily used to download MMORPGs. Users of PMB participate in a secure, closed peer-to-peer network where users receive pieces of the download package from a Content Delivery Network (CDN) as well as other active users (peers). PMB is usually packaged and automatically uploaded to a PC without the knowledge of the user. Many times users experience drastically slower downloads of these MMORPGs while PMB is installed. Unlike Pando, PMB cannot be used to send files from the user's computer. PMB is only activated to deliver Pando-enabled downloads from commercial sources such as TV networks, software publishers and gaming companies
