My system seems to be hogging bandwidth on my home network even when I'm doing nothing on the internet.
I have ensured things like Dropbox etc have been deactivated but still task manager shows quite a bit of activity:-

Are you only one using network ? Few Kb/s are always going to be needed for communication with router.
