Data Usage:

Depending on the user's settings (Global Download Yes or No - No by default; Poll rate - 10 seconds by default) as well as the number of aircraft within the user selected airspace view, several KB (kilobyte) or MB (megabyte) will be downloaded every minute. Depending on how long PlaneTrackr.exe is operated, this may cause large data usage. 

It is the responsibility of the user to monitor the data usage of PlaneTrackr.exe and make sure to stay within the data limits (if any) of the users internet contract.
