Also, when the game is left idle at the login screen, data will be downloaded. This is indicated by the image of a small lightning bolt in the upper right corner of the screen. Next to this icon a number will display the amount of data that has been downloaded. This icon may also appear during normal game play, occasionally after entering a new district or area. It indicates how much of the streamed updates a player last received when the player was last at the login screen. Normally this results in a small streamed update, only a few KB or MB in size, depending on how much of the update is left when the player logged in.
