It's annoying enough that I shut Spotify down when I'm not using it. Then they get 0% of my bandwidth. I suppose there's enough lazy/unaware people that it do

It's annoying enough that I shut Spotify down when I'm not using it.
Then they get 0% of my bandwidth. I suppose there's enough lazy/unaware people that it doesn't matter.
- kzrdude 14y agoI hope you mean you also kill the background process they leave running.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoI don't see any background process running when I shut it down on Linux, and my bandwidth monitor immediately shows any unusual uploading activity coming to an end.

- waterlesscloud 14y agoYou know, that's a good idea. Thanks for bringing that up!
- defect 14y agoLast i heard idle clients (i.e. not currently streaming) are supposed to drop out of the P2P overlay, so it shouldn't be uploading if you haven't listened to music for a while. I haven't tested if this is actually the case though.
