No, the wallet has been up for months. I've upgraded a week before, but it didn't pull a new blockchain.

I have a Bitcoin-qt client running that is doing 6gb of outbound traffic per day.
This isn't even an open wallet (i.e. the inbound ports are firewalled) - so this is just outbound traffic initiated by the wallet itself. I take it when the wallet connects to a peer, the peer then can in turn retrieve blocks from the wallet, which is where the traffic comes from.
Is 6gb/day normal usage though?
If so, is there a way I can trickle it down?
I want to support the BitCoin network, but 6gb a day is a bit excessive (I have to pay for all outbound traffic - this ends up being $100's per year).
