When I use gnotella, the firewall "ZoneAlarm" show me that the amuont of byte sent is very much. For example today: 90Mb in 1 hour!!! when gnotella has detected 0 uploads. The amount of bytes received is correctly (20 Mb in 1 hour) cause i have 2 downloads. I use only a 56k modem.
Please, help me to know if it's a dangerous or suspictious activity on my computer.

Most likely not. Actually, it's most likely a glitch in ZoneAlarm.
However, as always "Being paranoid doesn't mean you're not being watched" When the suspicious activity happens, open up a DOS Prompt and type "netstat -a". If there are very suspicious addresses there, reply back and state the full address (Port, proto, status etc.)

What ISP are you using? I want to be able to transfer 90MB in a hour on a dial up connection!
