Process 'storeagent' eating bandwidth
Recently I noticed a hike in my daily internet usage. After investigation I came to know that a process called storeagent was downloading huge amounts of data from the internet. When googled I found that it's related to app store.
- How can I prevent
storeagentfrom downloading data? - If I do so will it prevent updates for my applications?
- Will it make any security issue?
Try turning off the automated download of updates.
- Launch the System Preferences
- Go to the App Store preferences pane
- Uncheck Download available updates in the background
