The actual coding in flash doesn't mean it is constantly pulling data externally. It only refreshes once upon a page load, some AJAX versions do actually have refresh intervals, however this one doesn't work like that. The amount of data would not change if a visitor was on any page for 1 minute or a few hours, it pulls once and that is it.

Firefox will show any flash object constantly transfering data even if it is not. The reason is because data is pulled externally via the proxy file, therefore the flash object may look to the browser that data is being continually sent/received - the fact is if the flash object was set to stop after pulling the data once then it would not show this message, but then the RSS feed would fail.

Bandwidth shouldn't be an issue, it is only the cost of the main flash object you would need to worry about, if that. The swf is designed to be compact as much as possible, this is why some people have mentioned certain languages failing, if all languages were embedded then the file size would be over 400k per page load, which is far beyond anything we would consider releasing.

Hope that explains it a bit better.
