Need an app to see what's using my data

[Solarion]

I'm using a Telkom dongle with the D-Link connection manager. The little download arrow is reading a steady +1 100kps. Please suggest a free app that can tell me where this is coming from? TIA.

BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service) was the culprit

Use Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) to transfer files asynchronously between a client and a server. There are three types of transfer jobs. A download job downloads files to the client, an upload job uploads a file to the server, and an upload-reply job uploads a file to the server and receives a reply file from the server application.

Edit: I have disabled the service and the machine is running just fine. Zero bandwidth being used now after I close FF.

If you disable BITS then say goodbye to Windows Update which uses that service to download updates.
