It appears that ktorrent is causing ARP packets to be sent on the local network.  I don't know why, and I don't know how to prevent it.

If I'm not running ktorrent "arp" or "ip neigh show" will only display real devices that exist on my local network.  But, a while after starting ktorrent the number of entries will increase and look like this.....

[egreshko at meimei ~]$ arp
