There is a bug in latest Adguard Desktop & confirmed by Avatar.

This happened to me too on YouTube.

[Bug] Adguard keeps streaming after client exited

Thanks!
May 15 post by Avatar saying that it's a major bug, yet it's June now.

Seems fixed in the latest beta.
[Adguard for Windows] Beta 6.1.236.1160

 

[XhenEd]

I wonder why Adguard devs didn't release an immediate update to fix this bug. Maybe it's because they think it's not a critical bug, or they don't care about lost bandwidth of their customers since they don't have limited internet subscription. Gave them a limited internet plan, maybe they could have fixed this immediately.

 

[SHvFl]

No clue on the reasoning behind it. Maybe it was not an easy fix and needed investigation. Good news is that it's fixed now.

This problem happened to me also in Opera. If I stopped a download and exited opera, still high download traffic was being shown. Tried to find which software was downloading through Eset network connections dialog, but it didn't show anything. Now I understand the problem, thanks.

It's a non issue now if your running an "up to date" version.

Latest stable is affected, right?
The fix is in beta version.

Beta yes, unsure about the stable, Don't quote me because they may have poped in a update,
and i don't want to misinform concerning the stable version XhenEd.

Update was not pushed from beta yet. Usually takes a while.

Thats the reason I uninstalled it.

I am on limited bandwidth & the fix was not there for quite a long time.

 

[XhenEd]

It was May when this was reported, but it is July now, and the fix is still in the beta version.
I wonder how many have lost so much bandwidth because of Adguard. Jogs is surely just one of them.

@avatar Why?

@avatar Why?

I lost few GBs. And came to know about the prob only when I accidently stumble upon mentioned Adguard bug. And I posted the bug here.

I always have a data traffic monitoring tools on my desktop, i want to know what is going on on my traffic. This issue would not happen to me.

Use the default number of filters, and only add one or two filters if you like.
With mine, I only have the default plus Annoyance filter.

 

[neon]

yes but now I don't know which are default ?
Why does it add new filters ?

 

[SHvFl]

Maybe you have on enable language specific filters? Default filters are English filter and User filter.
