Hi

When I use the bitcoin client it will Synchronise with the network. How much data does this use. Would the data used when Synchronising vary, depending on how many times you use the Bitcoin Client..

Thank you..

It varies by the needs of the clients you're connected to. If you connect to a client who wants to download the blockchain from you, you'll see vastly different usage versus connecting only to clients who don't ask you for information.

I think the OP was not only referring to the initial blockchain download, but was also referring to how much data is used for each active connections that are left open by the client? To receive payments, make confirmations, receive new block information, etc.

Yup, 2.64 GB over here. When I first started, it was like one gig or 800mb.
