I posted this problem before. I had to reformat after sp3.. I dont recommend downloading this pack until all the bugs are out. If you look at other boards people are having the same problem.

Its probably the Automatic updater and Background intelligent transer service(BITS) services that are taking up your bandwidth. These can be safely disabled in Admin Tools -> Services.
