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.

BOINC Manager uses TCP/IP to communicate with the core client; these 
transactions go through network ports but don't actually leave the host 
system. So they're not really uploads and downloads, in the usual sense.
