How much data is transfered/retrieved when you mine for coins?

do you mean internet data? it's not much, the mining activity consume very low amount of internet, but the real problem is when you saturate a router maximum amount of data with many rig connected, it's better to buy a powerful router, to not get many lost shares when you use many rig with one router, i had this issue before, because i connected 4 rig to one old router, and my miner was disconnecting all the time, internet was working fine though
I agree the amount of data used when mining is trivial to anyone with a broadband connection of at least 20mbps.
I think most people would never encounter router saturation though as most routers designed for the home market are quite capable of handing the traffic even from 50 rigs. You would be more likely to run out of electrical capacity long before your router couldn't keep up, assuming you are using hardwired connections and not using a lot of data somewhere else, like streaming or something. You must have had a very old router or something else was going on with it for only 4 rigs to cause any issues.
