I set up a remote node for Monero using SSH tunneling, it works great.

The problem is that it's using quite a bit of bandwidth. I assumed all bandwidth intensive operations were done in the remote node, but my local monero-wallet-cli downloaded hundreds of MBs in a few minutes.

Is there a way to prevent this?

Thanks.

If you update to the coming release, and if the remote node you're using is using a recent daemon (the one that'll come with that release), the bandwidth will be much less when refreshing the wallet.

For current blocks (ie, after the ringct change), the bandwidth should be less than 5% what it was.
