It's not annoying. Anyone who is annoyed can just skip
it -- that's there problem as long as you are on topic (at
least somewhat.)

What were you doing? Were you downloading or visiting
web sites only? (Most of these might give you roughly
equal packet counts since you would acknowledge most
each packet sent to you.)

show?

What are you running? Tlist? (ResKit) of PSList from
SysInternals.com will help here.
