I'm hesitant to kill totem. Is it involved in the download somehow?
Totem is a the video player ("movie player" in the Gnome menu). If you're not watching video, then you can kill it.
Your message sounds like a download started in the background (e.g. a page with embedded media), and kept on going, even though *you're* not looking at it.
It happened again, and I tried to kill totem through "top", but it kept saying "no such process ID", so I fired up the Process Monitor GUI and was unable to kill it from there, too. It appeared to simply re-spawn with a different PID (?). So, I uninstalled it:
======================================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ======================================================================================= Removing: totem i386 2.24.3-3.fc10 installed 5.7 M Removing for dependencies: totem-gstreamer i386 2.24.3-3.fc10 installed 133 k totem-mozplugin i386 2.24.3-3.fc10 installed 487 k totem-nautilus i386 2.24.3-3.fc10 installed 48 k totem-xine i386 2.24.3-3.fc10 installed 87 k

However, I kinda need it, or mplayer, or something. I'll try mplayer to see if it has a similar interaction with wget, download helper and flashgot.
