Hello!

This coming Saturday I am moving house. The house I am moving to is brand new and as such has no phone line. Not being located in a cable area, no phone line means no internet for... 8 weeks.

This is going to be ridiculous pain, so I have decided to sign up to a pay as you go mobile broadband dongle thingy from Orange, to tide me over.

However, there are some very very steep fees for exceeding the rather pathetic data transfer allowance they provide you with.

I am therefore after some software that can monitor my cumulative network usage. Ideally something that I can reset and then it'll just keep a running total.

I had a quick scan through the Freeware thread, but couldn't find anything obvious. Perhaps I'm just being blind....

Can anyone please suggest something? Thanks !
 
dumeter is fantastic.


to lower your browsing usage -and improve browsing..

install firefox


Install adblock plus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865
restart FF, then click this link. abp://subscribe/?location=http://easylist.adblockplus.org/adblock_rick752.txt&title=EasyList


hides all googleads and crap like that, and flash ad banners on all sites.

find a website that has banners on, and then compare it with Firefox and IE.


-pages load quicker
-no annoying ads
-less bandwidth used..

win/win/win


also, if you're using these forums, you can turn off all signatures, that'll save you a ton of data :)
 
^yeah, use netmeter, it's a free dumeter basically, but i can never remember the name.

still, do the firefox things, many pages are about 1/4 the size when using adp, especially if you use noscript too
