DrunkenMaster Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 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!

DrunkenMaster Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 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.

Devoto. Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 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 :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/351414-bandwidth-monitor/#findComment-586297098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

robniep Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 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 :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/351414-bandwidth-monitor/#findComment-586297509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
divinatum Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The author of that widget can use a prefrence file and store the totals so it doesn't reset Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/351414-bandwidth-monitor/#findComment-586298870 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonzie Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 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.

SPeedY_B Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Try this widget: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18877 Does a good job :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/351414-bandwidth-monitor/#findComment-586340433 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted August 7, 2005 Author Share Posted August 7, 2005 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. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/351414-bandwidth-monitor/#findComment-586340560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
