    Rapidshare is a file hosting site.

    Nothing to do with torrents.

    Traffic will mean you are downloading something. Close all browsers, does the traffic continue?

    I don't think so...

    Do you have the NoScript add-on installed for Firefox? If not, you might check it out. I'd be curious to see if this is an XSS attack or something... i'm paranoid, though, so it's probably something else...

    I cannot reproduce this problem just because I'm watching this video. Must be something else. Also: I cannot find any scripts on the youtube page that could trigger this.
