Network

Post by @s8n »

Hello,

May I know why it is taking up Network process? Is it connecting to the internet and taking up bandwidth?

Running ETP/HTTP Server (in Everything)?

Where does that "Show usage stats" come from, how do you get to it?

The only moment Everything connect to the internet is at startup, when checking for updates.
That is: when you have Check for updates on startup enabled (Menu:Tools > Options > General).
Other than this 1-2 kB download: No accessing the internet.

Are you using Everything 1.3?

Everything 1.3 uses sockets to communicate with the Everything Service.

This communication is strictly local only.

To see which sockets Everything has open:
From a command prompt, run:
netstat -abn

Everything uses the loop-back adapter 127.0.0.1

Everything 1.4 does not use sockets, so you should not see any network traffic.

Are you hosting an ETP/FTP server under Tools -> Options -> ETP/FTP Server -> Enable ETP/FTP Server?
Are you hosting a HTTP server under Tools -> Options -> HTTP Server -> Enable HTTP Server?

It's from Win10:
- Start Settings "App" (WIN+i)
- Search for Data usage overview
- Click on View usage per app (one of the first options)

I apologize for the late response.
Are you hosting an ETP/FTP server under Tools -> Options -> ETP/FTP Server -> Enable ETP/FTP Server?
Are you hosting a HTTP server under Tools -> Options -> HTTP Server -> Enable HTTP Server?
No, none of these are checked.
Are you using Everything 1.3?
Version 1.4.1.895 (x64)

I was worried when I checked the usage stats. I am using this at work, and so far our IT hasn't called me out yet for excessive bandwidth usage. I am not really techie, so I am not sure what am I looking at here. Is there a way to try and block this app from accessing the internet and see if it will make any difference on how I use it?

With these options disabled, and check voidtools.com for update notifications disabled (Tools -> Options -> General -> Check for updates) there should be no network traffic from the Everything.exe process.

Do you have any folder indexes under Tools -> Options -> Folders?

Maybe indexing and monitoring these folder indexes are being included in your network traffic?

Are you launching something from Everything that is using a lot of network traffic? maybe this child process is being included in Everything's network traffic?

From a command prompt, could you please run:
netstat -abn

What connections are listed above [Everything.exe]?

Alternatively, please Resource Monitor Network usage for the Everything.exe process.
