Title:
  too much https traffic towards 91.189.92.55 (daisy.ubuntu.com)

Status in “whoopsie” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Sometimes, after a reboot, whoopsie sends large block of data
  (sometimes here 60+ megabytes) via https to the IP 91.189.92.55
  (daisy.ubuntu.com).

  User does not know what data is being sent "now", and why it is being
  sent "now". User only sees the uplink clogged for quite some time.

  Workaround: disable the network, wipe out /var/crash and enable the
  network again.

  There is no way to control whoopsie except disabling automated
  bugreports in the SystemSettings/Privacy.

  
  Suggestions:

  - in the SystemSettings/Privacy, add some scheduling control like
  "sending data: only allowed from 2am to 5am local time"

  - alert the user if the datafile is larger than -say- 500 kilobytes
  and wait for user confirmation.
