Hi Folks:  Does anyone know why BOINC continuously uploads and downloads 
while running?  The older versions never did this.  My Zone Alarm 
firewall icon shows BOINC uploading and downloading rhythmically about 
once every second.  Is this normal?  Thanks.

It is actually only making sure it has net access, not transferring
any data. It only transfers data when it actually needs new work or
when you make it happen manually.
