Are you certain that the 20GB/day is from the Bitcoin client? I wouldn't expect it to use near that much b/w.

I've seen the client seem to get hung up and really process blocks very slowly. I kill it and restart it and it chugs through at a decent pace again until the next time it slows down. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Isn't MtGox's official story was that the DDOS attacks are being perpetrated by traders trying to game the system by selling, then driving the price down due to the panic created as a result of the attacks, then buying again at an artificially low price before the currency recovers.
I think that scenario is a perfect example of why BTC needs a more widely dispersed infrastructure without depending so heavily on a single exchange.

You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts (new topics or replies).

I believe that's the highest difficulty share that you've successfully submitted.
