If I use a news server and enable SSL how much of my bandwidth is used by SSL % wise?

Lets assume I'm on a 384kb/s adsl line using astraweb servers?

You will see no significant difference in bandwidth consumption caused by SSL. What you will notice, or rather the server admin, is a significant increase in CPU usage on the web server....
