Welcome to WebmasterWorld Adrian_Bass. iPlayer is the BBC torrent service? I can't use that service from Japan, so I couldn't test it out for you. If it runs like other torrent services it may have been simply seeding or leaching an increased number of files. You may not have set limits on its bandwidth usage and it simply exponentially increased in usage as you increased your collection. I'm just guessing though.

Hmm, yeah i considered that possiility. But my cache and collection are all wiped at very regular intervals, so im betting its not that. Im currently doing a virus sweep and will see if it turns anything up, but im not convinced thats the problem. Thanks for the input Adrian

Can you change the startup of KService.exe to manual?

Normally:
Control Panel ¦ Administrative Tools ¦ Computer Management ¦ Services & Applications ¦ Services
Then look for the service, right-click on it, select Properties, and select the 'Startup type'.

Well many thanks for all the ideas guys, but alas the problem persists. I changed the program to manual, and disable, and on both occasions it stopped the applications in there tracks. So a no go. Im now out of ideas, so will probably do what i first thought and have a proper cleanout and re-install of all software. Cheers

I'd first simply try uninstalling the iPlayer software. Run your machine without it and see whether that is indeed the culprit. You should then download a new copy and re-install. If the problem persists and you've got it narrowed down to that software, then I'd suggest you contact the vendor's support line. They may have a solution available.

I have rarely messed around with starting and stopping services, however, if you use "Manual" then you will have to start it when you need it and stop it when you don't. It won't work otherwise. Kaled.
