Instinctiv pulls data from the server for 2 things at the moment (though more features will be server dependent in the future).
1) Instinctiv shuffle. Using an encrypted connection Instinctiv anonymously uploads the names (and other metadata) of the songs you have on your device. The server then returns you a "mood map" which lets Instinctiv shuffle know which songs are related to which other songs, how and by how much. We also monitor which songs you play and skip and use that to personalize the shuffle. For every 1000 songs budget 50k of data up and 4k of data down. For every 10 songs listened to, budget 1k up.
2) Artwork fetching. This one's the one that'll kill you. We download missing cover art and each cover can be up to a couple hundred k per song...

I still carry a Sansa mp3 player running RockBox with me for one very specific feature, the ability to shift the pitch and tempo of a track independently. I realize I'm very likely in the minority, but I truly do use that functionality on a daily basis. If I could find a player for the n900 with that feature I would finally be able to consolidate and carry one fewer device. I'll add that (low priority) request to the bottom of the wish list stack.

We're always surprised at the cool (and sometimes crazy) stuff people do with music. If you don't mind my asking, why do you shift the pitch and tempo? Is it a jogging thing, a karaoke thing? Are you onto something totally awesome the rest of us don't know about?

Can Instinctiv use the same file for a faster image load?
