unknown skype traffic

[T o n g <mlist4suntong@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Disclaim: I installed skype just recently because I have to use skype for 
work instead of pleasure. 

I notice a strange 15K inbound and 15K outbound traffic just now (they  
should both be zero normally). iftop shows connections from sites that I 
never know before. netstat reveals that all such traffic are from skype:

Active Internet connections (w/o servers)

The skype GUI shows no activities at all. What's going on? 
Somebody experiencing the same before?

Thanks
