Bandwidth monitor

[DrunkenMaster]

My ISP imposes a 60 GB monthly cap. I don't go over it but I'm wanting to keep track of my usage (which resets on the billing date 16 to 18 of the month).

I've been trying to setup MRTG but its way too complicated for my purposes. Can anyone suggest an app that has total downloads which can be reset (or better yet tabulated) over the year in total MB or GB?

thanks!

mcafee personal firewall has a utilities section with a log in it...

edit:but that would be useless for a mac.

LOL! You Windows people. Its time you upgrade: Windows Vista

Thanks for the info. :laugh:

Seriously, though, I've looked on Versiontracker and the only think I'm coming up with are current download rate monitors e.g. right now you're downloading at 200 Kb/s that sort of thing. It doesn't have you've downloaded 1.2 GB today, 45 GB this month type of thing.

Well, I just use quite a basic widget which displays the appropriate information.

Of course, it resets everytime you reboot but I don't reboot often (I did do this morning though, hence the screeny).

I don't know whether you'd be interested in that or not, but it works for me :)

might be if I can Pipe the output to a txt file. Then it might bed practical

Hmm, there are widgets but if you restart then its gone.

I'm interested in finding something like this too. I hit 120gb like 2 weeks ago in a 1-2 week period. D: (it's not what you think)

I'll keep my eyes open :)

The author of that widget can use a prefrence file and store the totals so it doesn't reset

To the OP- there's a few here; http://www.widgetgallery.com/index.php?sea...ndwidth&x=0&y=0 They are for Konfabulator. I don't know if any of them resets the counter after a reboot. You would have to write the numbers down and then calculate the total amount if the widgets reset their counters.

Try this widget: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18877

Does a good job :)

thanks for the link SpeedY_B, most helpful. Since my bandwidth resets on the 18th of th month, it does it automatically. I wasn't using dashboard apps until this one.
