How much data does a work unit upload?

When a folding work unit finishes, roughly how much data does it upload?

I'm guessing it's not much.

I'm getting crappy ping / connections in games (PS3 & PC), tried all sorts and my download speeds are fine so clutching at straws really that it may be this going over the Virgin media upload limit and causing throttling. (Although they say everything is fine)

Cheers, it's mostly GPU WUs so wouldn't be much then, around 30-40MB over a day. Hmm, well that's ruled that out anyway.

Yeah I think your right, it tends to be after work but is happening a lot more than it used to. The download speed is always fine 9-10MB, but upload is awful 0.07MB, and it seems to be an intermitant connection, fine one minute then nothing the next minute.

When I'm browsing the web or downloading stuff I don't notice the break as its only for second or so, but when playing games it results in me jerking all over the shop.

When playing MW2 on the PS3 I can watch the connection bars go up and down from max to min! Virgin say the line is fine, but I'll call them again for another rant.
