Does it still use 1GB of network traffic per day when idle?
- akerro 10y agoThat's by design to keep connections with other peers.
- Gruselbauer 10y agoSome kind of throttle would be a good idea, in that case. A gigabyte a day is unacceptable for some of us.
- veeti 10y agoThat is a fundamentally broken design. There is literally no excuse for a simple messenger app to suck up a gigabyte daily. How do you expect people to adopt this when they have broadband and wireless plans with data caps?
- taneliv 10y agoI know nothing about TOX design, but it makes (to me, at least) some privacy sense to saturate the network with noise that is in message length, their interarrival time and recipient characteristics similar to the actual communication. No idea if TOX does that.
- bluedino 10y agoAside from the data usage - that will suck the battery life from your devices as well
- zaggynl 10y agoTo get back on this, this might be only the Windows client, just had latest qTox idling on Linux overnight and network data usage is 1.3MB.
