I believe it's checked about once a day when you switch connections. You can't disable it but you can set the interval incredibly high. There's instructions on how to do this elsewhere in the forum.

update:

total consumption since yesterday is 3MB with some minor browsing...

Ovi Contacts signed in + Email + weather

so it seems the RSS had to do with this sudden surge in MB over night... now the question is: is that normal or the RSS has a major bug that need to be fixed?

The system is also checking for updates regularly. This can transfer a few kB or MB, too, by downloading the package indexes, depending on which repositories you have enabled.

It could well be normal - depends on what's in the feeds and what the RSS reader does with enclosures (attachments) by default.

RSS does not automatically download enclosures.

In which case, unless there's a very large number of high-throughput feeds, I can't believe that it would download 30MB in a single night without there being a bug.

If it is downloading them, they are nowhere to be found or inaccessable to users so... it would be very odd.
