Massive download at startup is consuming huge download bandwidth

Hi JpFortran, as we currently support Ubuntu and Fedora installations of Linux, the amount of support we can provide is limited for Mint.

sorry about my absence, I was ill.
just finished a script to run on startup which will check for connection, and just then fire dropbox start.
Tell me if want/need me to close or accept solution to this request now, or prefer to wait til this workaround is functionally working - just for the record 😉
hi there, this is the fix that seems to be working (maybe helpful for next similar case):
#!/bin/bash
# poner en c/loop paraq lea salida (Ctrl+c twice). Sleep mandatory!!
trap - INT
UNREACHEABLE=1;
while [ $UNREACHEABLE -ne "0" ];
do ping -q -c 1 google.com &> /dev/null; UNREACHEABLE=$?; sleep 1;
done
# inet reached. run'n quit:
dropbox start(have to be set as a run-on-login program)
Now I set the issue as closed.
Very thanks to all of you pals for being there.
If can help in any way just drop me some words.
Best regards,
Jp.
