Title: how much bandwidth is used when mining? Post by: edalbkrad on February 15, 2012, 10:08:46 PM how much bandwidth is used when mining?
do any of you have an idea? Let's say 200 mhash/s uses 20kb/s or maybe more? Title: Re: how much bandwidth is used when mining? Post by: Kluge on February 15, 2012, 10:13:26 PM ~650MH/s here, maybe 3kb/s being used on average.
ETA: Probably very relevant to note how many mining "threads" are active on the rig. 2, in my case, but Phoenix 2 dumps all the work in the same work queue. ETA2: After reading TRL's post below -- noticed something was wrong with my numbers. Realized I'm running Skype + the BTC daemon which probably contributed to higher bandwidth use in my guesstimate (just looked at total bandwidth consumption on computer over 10 seconds or so). 140/24 = 2.333MB/hr, /60=.0388/min, /60=.00064814/second, *1000=.65KB/s -- Either way, it's probably insignificant consumption for most.

I was thinking about this because I have a slow internet connection. only 1mbit :( i guess its all right to browse and download while mining if it uses less than 10kb/s Title: Re: how much bandwidth is used when mining?

Thanks +1 Been wondering about this myself. Title: Re: how much bandwidth is used when mining?

You can probably extrapolate your #s from there. |
