(sometimes) bitcoin-qt 0.7.2 uses 100% outgoing network bandwidth when idle, after all blocks synced. restart helps.

Probably uploading blocks to another peer. You can use your OS/router to rate limit it if you need to. Not a bug IMO.

Well, OK.
However in the faq there is opposite https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Man_page#How_much_network_traffic_does_the_bitcoin_client_generate.3F
How much network traffic does the bitcoin client generate? Almost none.or no?

It's about traffic. Notice the numbers are in "per day".

It was using 100% bandwith (70KiB/s) during, say, 30 or 60 minutes (not sure). It's not "Almost none" for me).

It's definitely bursty.

Bitcoin was serving nodes, so that is hardly an issue or bug in the end. Perhaps if it was doing this all day long. Remember the reference client is a full node.

That's because it is a P2P program, thus a client as well as a server. This is expected behavior. If bandwidth is a problem, use one of the lightweight clients.
