No haven't accessed MTV.com ever. And I also now have it blacklisted at the router. That is the key to this. No one has accessed MTV.com from this computer, yet it was downloading continuously according to router logs.
Any MTV-like apps come bundled with the Mac? I'd launch Activity Monitor and Chrome then keep an eye on which process is consuming the most resources.

No - no bundled apps at all. I'm going to do as you suggested as well as what WiderMouthOpen above suggests with the Chrome Task manager too. Thanks

I couldn't find anything concerning MTV malware. I curiously found a dated article about an MTV.exe; however, it's relatively safe and advises to disable the program at startup to preserve resources.
It's a really dated article. MTV.exe is a MoodLogic MP3 Mix Maker program. Do you make MP3 mixtapes on your 5K laptop?

My curiosity lead me to another, more recent, article. I'm not implying this is the source but all I can find about malicious MTV.
Acústico MTV.exe
