My initial concern was a middle of the night 3.27GB  download when only the Skimmer-PC
was on and connected to my Verizon cantenna router.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Results:

Lot's of posts on this issue on the Verizon Community webboard, with Verizon reps
responding. An IP address for this download can't be revealed, "privacy" issues.

==>  Most likely a somewhat nefarious Microsoft 10 related download. I keep the
auto update OFF on my Skimmer PC because the process shuts down the Aggregator.
But every 3-4 months I do all the accumulated updates at once. In those Windows 7
updates is a buried consent for the background Windows 10 downloads. And the 
consent can't be turned off. And the downloads will continue. OUCH!

73, Bill KO7SS
