Hi - this is my first post and forgive me, I did look all over the forum and did not find the answer. How much bandwidth (UL/DL) should I expect the UD agent to consume in a 30 day period? I have a satellite high speed connection where I am allowed VERY FINITE bandwidth allotments. If I go over I get shut down - not good. When I ran it on my work machine I did not have this limitation. I want to help!!
TIA! - geoff |

The reason there's no clear answer is because - it depends.
Each WCG project has different download and upload sizes. Then it depends on which agent you use (BOINC or UD) and whether compression is in use. My advice is to run BOINC and the Genome Comparison project, which has compressed up/downloads. Using BOINC will let you track much more closely exactly how much work your computer is getting through. If you tell us your bandwidth limit and the amount of work your computer normally does in 24 hours, we may be able to work out some estimates. |

Don't now what the GC compressed file size is.... think download is about 500-800kb and tested it with Gzip getting those ranges on pairs of 2. The last upload was about 350kb. The FAAH are 200kb-DL, uncompressed and the process time is about 3-4 times longer than a GC. Upload size was 420kb on last completed one.
----------------------------------------For tracking there are utilities like DUmeter that can be programmed to give alerts at different upload / download volumes per period, day, week, month. It also graphically shows the traffic size over time for up and down. http://www.dumeter.com/scrshots.php. Can be reduced to fit the address bar and remain on top.
