hi butch,
I presume you mean how much data does it download because it will use as much bandwidth ("net speed") as is available, depending on the load at their end.
For the one laptap (presumption!), the data downloaded would be minimal ... it really depends on its speed and the particular DC jobs you are doing. I certainly doubt that it would be of concern to you - it's not anything like peer-to-peer downloading (ie napster style).
What is the limit they place on you at your school?

Cheers,
Elad.

PS from the FAQ at the FAD site:-
" How much data is transferred?
This does vary. The minimum downloaded is about 5Kbytes, but when a new protein target is required a further 50Kbytes will be transferred. These quantities are small compared to most other Distributing Computing projects are will normally be transferred in much less than 1 minute. "
