How Much I Downloaded

Hi AO's

Well my ISP is very expensive

as for example we pay 169$ per month for a 512kb speed that is 4meg i guess
which also has a limit of downloading up to 10GB only.

and if you download more then the limit then it would be charged as

29$ per Extra GB downloaded



now what i required is a utility which will calculate the total downloading done by my computer to keep a track of my total downloads for the month

so that i don't exceed my limit and finally don't have to pay extra to them for downloading.

KK

I have been using NetMeter for a few years now, it's easy to install, and even easier to setup.
You can set it up so that once you have used a certain amount of Bandwidth it will notify you that you have used the allocated amount etc etc

anyhow here's the link:

Well your ISP should email you "usage statistice" on a daily basis.

Actually they don't - they provide you with a link that you can access and see how much bandwidth you have left.

Ironic really.

Actually they do. We have an option to go to a link which you have now explained and an option to be emailed on a dialy or weekly basis on the usage you have used.

Hey guyz,

They have the link to check our usage but but but,

i am a rented tenant in the house and so the bill comes on the owners name

Email ID of this as well as the account details are with him not with me

so those options are out of question for me and secondly the owner stays in Greece not in my country...

I use this program at home it only privides statistics for the computer its on so if you have multiple computers it will more than likely defeat what you are trying to do or at the least make more work in determining the total from all computers. But at the very least its a nice program to install and rather accurate as well

DU Meter is what I used to use, Id also recommend it. Keep in mind everytime you visit a web page you are downloading the html/css/JS/images/etc so that will be counted...

Dude, you are getting raped! Not at the pump, but for the cost of your ISP. $169.00 a month you a dam fool for paying that. Thats about 4 months of service where I live. Our download is faster than 512/ 4 megs (blows that **** out of the water) our *upload* speed is faster than that. 169.00/ a month thats for the birds. I'm near north miami

i started using this netmeter it is a pretty good program an easy to use software.

but But BUT!!!! as i came across that i have exceeded my downloading and uploading limit i stopped downloading it but still the downloading and uploading figure was growing.

and finally i realized that this very software is also including data transfer as a download and upload


When ever some of my network computer take data from my files is considered as upload and once which i borrow from network computer is considered as download even the same for CD writing/flash drive transfer copy to or from external drives is as a UPload or a DOWNload

but actual requirement is the once downloaded and uploaded from the internet and not the removable or network data transfer.

now what do you suggest for this very problem

Hi,

First of all check to see if there are any advanced settings. Also can you turn it on and off?

I suspect that you are going to have to buy a commercial product that is designed for use with networks. These let you select what to monitor.

Some ISPs will provide a meter for their connection/service so check that out.

Do a google search for "internet meter" and "bandwidth meter".

Here is an example:

Unfortunately, most software suppliers assume that all networks are commercial installations so they charge for their product.
