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.

The BOINC system is in two parts.

The BOINC client runs in the backround and controls the project API's. It also 
communicates with the other part, the BOINC Manager, by using tcpip.

See if you can set Zone Alarm to ignore the BOINC traffic.
