Which is exactly why the phrase RTFA was created.
This project monitors your network performance, not constantly connecting to a single server. This raises privacy issues, but they're gladly doing something about that. There are options as to what you let it send, and the files it sends are stored locally so you can view them.

Hola!
I am willing, interested and able lend CPU cycles to GATech's NETI project, but all I own are a number of Macs. Your software download and installation page states, "This page gives a detailed description (hopefully) of how to install and uninstall NETI@home for your favorite OS", but my favorite OS is not listed.
Thanks,
