I switched from Bitcoin-qt to Electrum do I wouldn't have to download the blockchain since I'm on a 30Euros/3GB connection for awhile.  The problem is Electrum also seems to be downloading a lot of data shortly after starting.  How much will it download if I let it run?

Block headers. One-time download, about 18MB of data, should take just a few minutes in the background.
