What sort of bandwidth does WeatherBug require and will it slow my computer down?
WeatherBug had an independent laboratory test the WeatherBug application with regard to adware and spyware, bandwidth usage, resource utilization, and the uninstall process. Click on the following link to read the entire report. http://www.testpros.com/weatherbugcertificate1.htm The following is taken from the report mentioned above… “Traffic was monitored for 48 hours. The system under test was running WeatherBug 6.0 in background mode. An analysis of the traffic showed the average network bandwidth to be 10.2 bytes/sec. Traffic consisted of http Gets and Responses which occurred every 300 seconds (5 min). As noted below, clicking on the WeatherBug temperature icon to bring it to the foreground entails network activity, but the traffic is comparable to a browser request to the Yahoo home page. When some of the browser like features are used, like radar animation or Sky & Telescope, the network usage is exactly like that of a browser.
