I think most of the appli's people are downloading are tools like clocks, and standalone games (Samurai Romanesque notwithstanding, there aren't that many networked games). Look at the g-appli stats as a general guideline. Hence not that much follow on network traffic.

However, even tho the appli is limited to 10k, a lot of authors load graphics or other content using http into scratchpad afterwards, so you could guess the one time hit is maybe 20k (static scratchpad is limited, but there is other working memory for gfx).

//    An 80/20 split looks odd. Apart from games people do download

//    and telephone call charges thru an iAppli generates more
//    data packets than
//    that taken for download for sure.
