Title: What is normal outbound traffic for the Bitcoin-qt wallet? Post by: dbbit on April 18, 2014, 09:07:07 PM I have a Bitcoin-qt client running that is doing 6gb of outbound traffic per day.
This isn't even an open wallet (i.e. the inbound ports are firewalled) - so this is just outbound traffic initiated by the wallet itself. I take it when the wallet connects to a peer, the peer then can in turn retrieve blocks from the wallet, which is where the traffic comes from. Is 6gb/day normal usage though? If so, is there a way I can trickle it down? I want to support the BitCoin network, but 6gb a day is a bit excessive (I have to pay for all outbound traffic - this ends up being $100's per year).

I've upgraded a week before, but it didn't pull a new blockchain. |
