It takes about 5 min of code to merge a bunch of csv files. Lets say I only want $5/10 & $10/20 NL. A merged csv file would be extremely small. Honestly, this is not a valid concern IMHO.
Regarding bandwidth, I call BS. First, a manual download is going to happen very infrequently in comparison to an automatic download via the program. Second, you are already transferring the data to the local machine (as you confirmed above) so you are not using any extra bandwidth.
Lastly, as many people that have concerns about this and your reluctance to accept a SixthSense program that does not need internet access seems very odd to me. Add in the unbased excused above are not helping your reputation at all; quite the contrary. If you really want a boost for your reputation implement these small additions and not only will your reputation improve your consumer base will as well.

Whoa...
Like I said, this is Ben's side of the system. I explained it best I could. Its possible that my explaination is wrong - I am a very mediocre programmer.
I dont want to get myself into any more trouble, so i'll let Ben look at these posts whenever he gets back from lunch. I'm sure he'll do a better job of explaining it.

*edit*
-Just to clarify, there are no automatic downloads. It downloads tables when you click the refresh button, and sends nothing the rest of the time.
And as a side note - you seem to be very computer savvy, and also extremely critical of our program. If you are able to, and feel like spending the time - Install it on a computer without sensitive information, tear the thing apart, and report any findings of malicious activity.
I guarantee there are none.

I think alot of people are very paranoid after the RBCalc thing, but I'd just like to say that if Ben Ziegler (the creator of
PokerManager [which I trust and choose to use rather than PT]) is behind this, then I would not be worried about security breaches.
Ben has already written alot of decent poker software IMO, and if people are so worried about this then they should be just as worried about PT, PO or PAHUD security (ie: the "phantom sleeper packets" 1 year after instalation type argument can be applied to them just as easy...).
On a side note, if people are interested in watching what data applications are sending, then you can always use
PacketMon (it's free) to have a look (assuming no encryption or compression...).
