I connected my phone to my laptop and turned on USB tethering and removed all my sims from my phone, but it was still showing upload and download values and some torrents were downloading and uploading. How is this possible if I have 0 internet? I mean, my phone wasn’t connected to wifi and my laptop was still getting internet. Somewhat weird I think? What are the possible explanations here?

If there are no possible explanations, can I declare this a miracle and myself GOD!? :)

Torrent software usually shows average data transfer of the last X seconds. Actually, everything that measures data speed is doing that.

It might be that your config has a relatively long average. Nothing to worry about.

Nothing to worry about.

who was worrying 😂 I was having delusions of grandeur.

All kidding aside, thank you for your answer, you most probably are right but there is still a small possibilty that I performed a miracle 😶

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
