Mysterious network traffic [solved]

Running Mandriva 2008.1; after a startup there is a quite a bit of network activity going on for no apparent reason. Netstat shows this:

 

user$ netstat -a --program --tcp
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address               Foreign Address             State       PID/Program name
tcp        0     13 192.168.1.10:50400          mirrors2.kernel.org:ftp     ESTABLISHED -
user$ netstat -a --program --tcp
tcp        0      0 192.168.1.10:47093          mirrors2.kernel.org:56637   ESTABLISHED -
tcp        0     26 192.168.1.10:50406          mirrors2.kernel.org:ftp     ESTABLISHED -
user$ netstat -a --program --tcp
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address               Foreign Address             State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      6 192.168.1.10:34550          mandril.creatis.insa-ly:ftp ESTABLISHED -
tcp     4200      0 192.168.1.10:59656          mandril.creatis.insa-:32338 ESTABLISHED -

 

Is this some software update check going on in the background? Would anybody know what process is responsible for this? Can this be placed under user's control?

TIA

try to do the netstat as root so all process name will display

 

Didn't get much more info apart from indication it's the "wget" running the connection, but i didn't start it. I would be much more confortable if i knew what is going on there.
