The youtube videos are downloaded via your browser (chrome or firefox) Stop watching videos is the only way to stop that!

Chrome has this continue to run in background option, disable that in Google Chrome's advanced settings.

Because Google Inc is the owner of YouTube and the videos are delivered from that server! Or do you see any other ip connection related to the video at the same time?

Chrome Browser high Network Activity even during idle fix )
(we may get a fat internet bill) only thing that worked for me is this:

* right-click on Chrome icon SHORTCUT
* click PROPERTIES
* add -DISABLE-BACKGROUND-NETWORKING at the end of TARGET:
* click APPLY

old TARGET:
"C:\ .....\..... .....\chrome.exe"

new TARGET:
"C:\ .....\..... .....\chrome.exe" -DISABLE-BACKGROUND-NETWORKING


Google chrome using too much bandwidth?
