Is that the peer-to-peer thing? I abandoned the Bitorrent/Azureus thing
when we moved recently. No cable, too far for DSL, so now I have a
satellite hook-up. Speed's ok, latency takes some getting used to, but I
have a 10 G byte limit per month and their website said p2p will knock
you over the limit. No extra charge but they throttle your connnection
if you go over. How much traffic does that generate?
I'm 99% sure that it's not p2p. Based on my current understanding, you
can expect single a 6MB upload every month or two (whenever your
computer is done with a model). In the mean time, your computer will
send a small package to the server about once or twice a day to tell it
that you're still alive and how far along you are. This is not necessary
and you can unplug the internet cable if you like. The only transfer
necessary is the bi-monthly 6MB upload. See here:

There are also some network settings you can use (see below).
The model, however, can take up a fair bit of disk space. On my computer
it is already at 200MB. But you can tune the software to tell it how
much disk space it's allowed to have. Go here:
http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/index.php
Click on "Your account" and then "view or edit general preferences".
There you can set the amount of disk space. Here you also have network
settings like transfer rate, when it's allowed to use the network, etc.
Cheers,
Daniel.
