[Libtorrent-devel] Incorrect bandwidth calculation?

I'm running rtorrent 0.8.4 on a FreeBSD 7.1 system, with curl 7.18.0, and
the total bandwidth utilization seems to be a little out of whack.

I've got 43 active (started) torrents, and 14 inactive (stopped) ones.  Of
the ones that are started, zero are showing any data transfer, and all but
one have zero peers.  The one that has a peer has but one, which isn't
currently transferring any data (up or down).

However, for my total bandwidth utilization, I'm listed at ~9.5 up and ~5.0
down (yet with no upstream or downstream peers).

How can this be?  Is there something I'm missing?  Is there any way of
finding out why rtorrent thinks it's transferring data?  /Is/ it actually
transferring data?  (My cacti box died last week, and I've not yet had a
chance to replace it.)
