I remember when signing up that it was said you\'d need around 600MB of disk space per WU and it would use around 50MB RAM. What will the upload size of a result be? I\'m using dialup at the moment and am wanting to know if I\'ll need to move my computer to a high speed line once my results are finished ?

The main climateprediction.net site says the upload size is about 6 MB for a 3 phase model. It shouldn't be much, if any, different for the BOINC client upload.

I added a little bit more diagnostics than "classic CPDN" (a few fields the scientists thought were important to send, i.e. relative humidity at 1.5m, convective cloud levels, and zonal yearly-averaged means for most fields), so that will bump it up about 500K, but it's still about 6MB.

6MB isn't anything so that's good to hear. It was over 50MB I was gonna have to think about different options.
