All,
I just released 2.0.8 to help with the bandwidth issue. You can get it using Help->Check for Update.
PS: I'm glad I can help some of you visit your parents more often.

Greatly appreciated Steve.
Downloaded and wallet running now. Was up to 5 GB from midnight to now (9 am) so will be interesting to see how much impact the new wallet has.
Check of overnight figures shows data usage on my wallet has dropped from the 5 GB I quoted above for version 2.0.7, to 70 MB for version 2.0.8 for roughly the same period of time (actually a little longer). Wallet is ticking away with 20 connections to the network.
Once again, thanks Steve. Keep up the great work.

This is amazing, thanks Steve, now we can run it in many countries on low-bandwidth.
