Using vnstat, I observed a lot of uploaded data from my computer and I don't know which process sent data out of my computer. Is there a tool to get stats on how much data a process consumed during a period of time? Thank you.

Update: Looks like the process isn't sending data anymore, I installed nethogs to monitor live data transfer and everything seem totally normal.

Then nethogs command line utility will show you the network usage of every process on your system. You can install it by using

sudo apt-get install nethogs

Then just type in "nethogs" into the terminal and as soon as the process starts to use your bandwidth it will be listed.
