Skype is another one to watch, If you're on line, with Skype running, you will most likely be used as a supernode and incur unwanted traffic setting up other user's Skype traffic. This can be a hell of a problem if you are a laptop user and go dialup part time as the requests can swamp a dialup connection. On corporate networks large numbers of useres can bottleneck outside access. For more info google Skype Supernode.
