I think that some ftp programs ("clever" gui ones) ping certain sites to
inprove the connection, looked at this it could be the problem but I'm not
sure. Even if it were icmp defaults to 56 bytes and at 1 a second that is
56bps not a great load on the bandwidth :).
Have you got icmp masqing compilied into the kernel?
