Normal idle internet activity

[Jereag]

I recently installed Peer Guardian 2 and I noticed that the port I use for torrents gets TONS of requests. I figured this was normal since I am connected to a lot of peers, but even when I closed uTorrent I was still being flooded on that port. A negligible amount of bandwidth is consumed, but I am just wondering if there is a good reason behind this or if this is abnormal and something I need to look into fixing.

All the peers you were connected too still think you're there, so they're still trying to talk to you.
