The default limit is 100 GB, which is more than most people have on their PC's. I changed it to 20 GB, but it seems that Seti/BOINC is never using more than 20 MB.

Is GB the wrong unit of measurement, or is there more inolved in this than I am seeing?

Right now everything using boinc is pretty small. Future projects may be larger, and there are also future plans that boinc will use the extra space for "storage" creating something to the effect of "the worlds largest data server" (I forget exactly how they worded it, so that quote may not be exact).
