"Broadband monitor"

Anyone know of any software that'll keep track on my broadband traffic?

I'd hate to go over my monthly limit.

I asked this the other day, everyone ignored me.

Looks like I'm getting the same here.
It's annoying, even my ISP is gnoring me. You would have thought that if you are going to be capped for traffic, there would be the facility to chech how much you are using!

I'd got (legal) media to download!

Did some digging for you...

The ADSL Guide (www.adslguide.org) link to NetSpeedo which is a freeware app. that seems to provide what you want - [URL]http://www.cooltoys.org.uk/NetSpeedo/NetSpeedo_-_Home.html[/URL]
I haven't used it myself so can't recommend it, but the ADSL Guide is normally safe.
Have a read - and if you end up using it perhaps you could let people know if it's any good...

Cheers. May work. One problem might be "NetSpeedo currently only supports a limited number of ADSL routers" but I'll give it a try tonight.

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated.

I downloaded a piece of software which monitored my bandwidth usage, as I was considering going for a cheaper capped ADSL service, and it was great, but I really can't remember which program it was, and didn't think a reply saying "don't know" would be very helpful.

I have no idea what the name of it was, nor what term I used to search for it, but I do know I got it from www.download.com [URL]http://www.download.com[/URL].

Bandwidth monitor Pro 1.23?

I'm a bit of a plum, as I took a quick look under my programs folder, and there it was, so I've uploaded it to my web space, [URL]http://www.chrisjhaig.co.uk/D2HSmall_bandwidth_monitor.exe[/URL] (2.2MB) and see if it's what you wanted.

It's very basic, but can give you a rough idea of how much bandwidth you're using - and it made me see that a capped service would be pointless, as I never realised just how much bandwidth is used up for even the smallest of things (viewing these forums appeared to be quite bandwidth hungry as well).

That one might be a worthy alternative too.

Cheers Again, all appreciated.

I've a 30gb cap so I doubt I'll hit it! I just like knowing exactly whats going on.
