A lot less bandwidth, but also not of practical use. You might want to try http://boinc.berkeley.edu/ . Also see http://www.mersenne.org/
BOINC actually isn't as flexible as d.net, connection-wise. It's still better than being online 24x7.
Unless you have a super-gigahertz CPU, don't run BOINC's climate prediction. Each work unit takes months.
