High download rate in new version (0.5)?

[s_p]

I'm not sure if this is true, but I suspect that through playing 2-3 hours last night, I may have downloaded nearly 2GB of data. Can anyone confirm or estimate a download rate for the game? (how much data does the game download per playing time on avg).
In the older version (0.4.3) I did not accumulate downloads anywhere near as fast. It's a shame because I really like the game, and I'm very limited on download allowance, so I just won't be able to play if the download rate of the game is so high.
Maybe it's possible to introduce features to reduce this, like having more preloaded data (so that you only download it once instead of repeatedly), like the option to save maps in the 0.4.3 version.

What were you doing?  From what I understand ACK isn't currently working the way it's supposed to.

ACK? not sure what that is.
Anyway, by last night I mean in Australia, so we're talking about 12 hours ago now.
I wasn't travelling lots between the maps, mostly just smelting steel and doing smithing.
It got laggy quite a lot, and often response time was very long, but still I don't see why it was so heavy on downloads.
Any idea on what the avg download rate is at the moment? Does 2GB in 2-3 hours even make sense?

By ACK I mean ACKnowledge, the message your client sends to the server that means do not resend the packet.

Crafting is currently broken because ACK does not work the way it's supposed to, it's going to send the same data again and again until you log off.  You can still craft, but if you're concerned about bandwidth, then in the meantime don't do any crafting.

Oh, that explains a lot. I was almost on my way to call my ISP and phone-bash them...
If you find out that it's been fixed, can you please post it here?

Oh, also, is this the same for mining and smelting?
