Conky shows ~1kb download constantly

My conky configuration includes downspeedf and upspeedf. As I understand it, this is supposed to show the current download speed on the system. However, even when I'm not running any internet-related application (to my knowledge, anyway), Conky shows that I'm downloading at 0.1kb-1.5kb per second, seemingly fluctuating between high and low at a predictable rate (a bit less than once a second) within that range. (This seems to be a problem with Conky itself, as a Debian install on the same computer has the same problem.) What can I do to fix this?
EDIT: I should mention that I am using a desktop connected through an ethernet cable, not any sort of wireless. eth0 is the only network interface I know of on this computer.

  • The 'Apps' tab in my Creative Cloud Desktop app shows a Download Error

    I have tried uninstalling, downloading, and reinstalling Creative Cloud Desktop and continue to get the Download Error prompt.  It either shows the Download Error prompt or it continues to just think and think and think.  All the other tabs work normally. I've also signed out and signed in of my CC account multiple times . . . with the same outcome.
    All of this started after I had updated all the available updates . . . I was also looking to install Lightroom CC.

    You may try providing full permissions to Adobe folders under ~/library/Application Support and /library/Application Support.
    Then launch Creative Cloud app and try loading Apps list 
    Still same ?
    Try below steps :
    1)
    Launch Activity Monitor and "Force Quit" all the process related to Adobe like Creative Cloud, CoreSync, AAMupdater, AAMupdater notifier, Adobe Crash demon from Activity monitor.
    2)
    Click on the Finder and look for the options listed next to Apple Icon located at the top left corner of the Desktop screen and click on "Go" menu button and select "Utilities" option.
    (Applications>Utiliites)
    Locate Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Application Manager folder under Utilities window and trash both folders.
    3)
    Trash Adobe Creative Cloud from Applications well.
    4)
    1) Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-ToFolder " option.
    2) You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.( Do not miss ~ symbol)
    ~/library
    3)Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe.
    Open Adobe folder and trash folders named AAMUpdater and OOBE.
    5)
    1) Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option.

    /library
    3)Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe.
    Open Adobe folder and trash folders named AAMUpdater ,Adobe Application Manager and OOBE.

  • After clicking Clear List in Firefox downloads, Firefox will not show any downloads in the list how do I fix this?

    Firefox version 5
    I had numerous items int the downloads window. I clicked clear list and it did. Now when I download something, it flashes for just a second in the downloads window and then disapears. The file is actually downloaded to the downloads folder.

    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
    -> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> ''Time range to clear: '''select EVERYTHING''''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies & Cache''' -> click "Clear Now"
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> place Checkmark on "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" -> select Radio Button option2 "Always ask me where to save files"
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> ''Firefox will: '''select "Use custom settings for history"''''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from "Permanent Private Browsing mode" -> place CHECKMARKS on:
    1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
    4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
    -> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • How do I re-enable showing the download files history in the download manager window?

    System: Windows XP
    I am trying to re-enable showing/retaining the list of downloaded files in the download manager window. I want to be able to drag and drop directly from that window into a folder of my choosing. (I used to be able to do this, but apparently I messed that up...)
    I have tried the suggestions that could easily be found, including setting Firefox to remember all history in the Privacy tab of Options.
    I also deleted the mimeTypes.rdf file to "reset" the browser defaults, but to no avail.
    Any ideas/help?
    Thanks.

    By the way, a few other things you probably know:
    (1) The setting to keep the downloads list displayed after a download is here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General
    Check "Show the Downloads window..." and ''uncheck'' "Close it..."
    (2) You can always show the list by pressing Ctrl+j
    The mimeTypes.rdf file isn't particularly relevant to this problem; it affects what application Firefox uses to open a particular type of file.
    However, there is a database file which stores your download history which might be corrupted. You could rename that file and have Firefox start building a new one.
    (1) Open your personal settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder
    Help (or Alt+h) > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    (2) Switch back to Firefox and exit the program (e.g., File > Exit)
    (3) Wait a few moments for Firefox to finish updating files in your settings folder, then rename '''downloads.sqlite''' to something else, like downloads.old. Alternately, you can delete the file.
    (4) You're done with your profile folder and you can restart Firefox now.
    Any improvement?

  • My purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message " an unknown error occurred -50" Itunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

    My Purchases show partially downloaded. When I attempt to resume the download I recieve an error message: "an unknown error occurred -50". I tunes has charged for the download and sent a reciept however the shows wont play?

    I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
    I went to Music, then Artists.
    From there I chose the album.
    The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
    I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
    (Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

  • I am running 4.0.1 and when I download something the Download box stays blank-even though I have selected in General Preferences 'Show the downloads window when downloading a file' AND selected 'Save files to Downloads'....???

    I am running 4.0.1 and when I download something the Download box stays blank-even though I have selected in General Preferences 'Show the downloads window when downloading a file' AND selected 'Save files to Downloads'....???

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
    To find your OS information, on your Windows desktop, right-click the My Computer icon, choose Properties, under System on that small window is info about your OS.

  • Creative cloud desktop app show APPD download error

    Creative Cloud desktop app show APPS 'download error' - gives the option to reload applications or contact customer service
    Reload doesn't work
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app - same error
    Trouble began after I attempted to download a Bridge update which wouldn't complete

    Spent 2.5 hours on support chat and screen sharing with adobe support today, and after many uninstalls, CC clean ups etc, they could not get it working.
    Like you, it has always worked until today.
    The only thing we could get to work was to login to os x as root user and run Creative cloud from there.
    It's a PITA, but I am used to it because my desktop CC installer has been broken since last year, so I now have two computers with broken CC installers.
    OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user
    good luck

  • HT201272 my purchases are showing as downloaded but not all are actually downloaded how do i get them to download?

    how do i download purchases already showing as downloaded but were never actually downloaded?

    If they show as 'downloaded' in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes then are they listed in your iTunes library e.g. if they are music tracks are they shown in the Music section where you would normally click on them to play them ? If they are then iTunes is seeing them and assuming that you have them somewhere, even if you don't have the actual music (or film, TV programme etc) file on that computer - try deleting that entry from your library and they should get the cloud symbol against them in the Purchased link for re-downloading.

  • HT2052 Doesn't show the download progress

    I purchased the update and clicked download and it said thank you your download is starting and it takes 30 minutes and more but it doesn't show the download progress and it's been more than 30 minutes and my iPod isn't updated.

    Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • How do I transfer or backup tv shows I downloaded on my iPad from the iPad into my computer's iTunes library?

    How do I transfer or backup tv shows I downloaded on my iPad from the iPad into my computer's iTunes library? I have a bunch of tv episodes on my iPad that I want to delete but first i want to back them up onto my computer so i have them. If I check "Sync TV Shows" in the iPad in TV shows it tells me all the shows on the iPad will be replaced by what is in my library. I tried going into iTunes store to redownload but it tells me they are "downloaded." Any thoughts?

  • "How do i add more than 2 downloads in Downloads window?" "Downloads window" only show 2 download and don't show third one and else

    How do i download more than 2 downloads in "Downloads window"?
    "Downloads window" only show 2 download and don't show third one and more, They be wait until one of first or second complete.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Downloads

    You have some extensions that related to downloading listed in the Troubleshooting information.
    It is probably one of them that is causing that problem.
    What kind of files are you trying to download?
    Are all the files downloaded from the same server?
