[ale] experimenting with ntop - very cool, but a question

[James Sumners]

Of course it is Vuze. Vuze is nothing more than a BitTorrent[1]
client. When the program is minimized, you are still seeding the
torrents you are downloading and/or have completed.

If you want to see what programs currently have UDP connections open
simply type `netstat -up`[2].
