Cannot remember the first download....but it could be normal for the first one. How many WU's have you now got? They are fairly large..... I have 5 WU's in my work tab downloading. But in the transfer tab, there are about 30-40 different files. Most are about 90bytes to 150kb each in size with some 1-3 mb ones. The big sizes added up to about 30+mb at a glance. Just wanted to make sure I'm not downloading a bunch of bad files sent by the server. ;) ID: 8991 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

What you're describing sounds about right, so I wouldn't be concerned. From here on out, you'll only typically need to be transferring the smaller WU's and result files.
