"By default, Windows 10 uses your internet connection to share updates
with others across the internet.
The feature, called Windows Update Delivery Optimization is designed
to help users get updates faster and is enabled by default in Windows
10 Home and Pro editions.(...)
You can disable WUDO, but the option is buried in the settings menu
for Windows Update under 'advanced options' then 'choose how updates
are received.'(...)"

Also worth reading the
"Windows 10 has just arrived and there's a new Privacy Policy and
Service Agreement from Microsoft coming swiftly in its wake.
The new policies take effect on 1 August and there are a few
unsettling things nestling in there that you should be thinking about
if you're using the company's services and software.(...)"

Kind of like having a built-in torrent client for updates. It just
keeps getting better and better. Thanks for the info, I've disabled it.
