Windows 7 Can I disable the following processes to save on bandwidth?

[yeto]

Using Resource Monitor I see that the following processes have constant network activity. I have very limited bandwidth available and I was wondering that if the following processes are not needed can they be turned off in the startup menu or through some other means?


svchost.exe (LocalServiceAndNoImpersonation)
svchost.exe (LocalServicePeerNet)
svchost.exe (netsvcs)
svchost.exe (NetworkService)
svchost.exe (LocalServiceNetworkRestricted)



Thanks in advance for any help,
yeto

At first look, I would say no. Someone else of course may have a different opinion.

But the Svchost (NetworkService) you mention, on my system is hosting:

CryptoGraphic Services
DNS Client
Network Location Awareness
Remote Desktop Services
Work Station...

The other items also contain multiple services....

I was hoping to be able to at least turn off the first two.

I stumbled on this Netlimiter NetLimiter - The Ultimate Bandwidth Shaper when I was messing around with Spotify and didn't like it using so much bandwidth. Do a search there may be more.
