Secret upload? - friedchikkin

I can only assume that, as with most internet data throughput, there's error correction/doublechecking data (checksums).

Secret upload? - matt68000

The app doesn't measure the media or protocol layer throughput so it has nothing to do with typical ACK/NAK frame overhead. There is torrent application layer protocol overhead though. This is a peer to peer network, it will update multiple locations with the active streams, amount of data you have to provide, etc. This shouldn't surprise anyone. The more active torrents you have, even just downloading, the more torrent application babble you will see.
By the way, the whole philosophy behind peer to peer is that you also upload at least as much as you download. Why are you setting your upload rate to zero?
