[H] Electric sheep - bandwidth hog?

[Anthony Q. Martin]

AFter discovering this screen saver, I've put it on 3 different machines 
at home.  Now it seems as if it's hogging all of my bandwidth, even if I 
try to throttle it down.  Any ideas on making it run without slowing 
down the connection?  I let one machine build up a bunch of sheep and 
then I just copied them to the other two PCs.  I also set the 
download/unload rates to low numbers in hopes of not jamming up my 
connection.
