Broadband Download Monitoring Software


[link to this post]
 
Hi.
I have just started using Vodafone's Wireless Broadband Service using a Vodem.
We are on Prepaid and have noticed that our Balance is going down fast.

Can anyone suggest a software program ( pref free) that can log all pages downloaded each day showing their size using broadband, so we can gauge what web applications are depleting the balance. We tend to use email and Yahoo Messenger and MSN messenger, as well as downloading the occasional PDF file as well as the usual usage of viewing web pages and doing searches.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Try NetMeter - free.
It counts bytes upload, download and total - daily, weekly, monthly,...
You can set limits, manually reset counts and have a small (resizable) window permanently on screen with user defined transparency to graph throughput and display totals.
I've used it for years with no problems.
