Well, I've been at school 2 days and I've already gone over my bandwidth limit (for the 12th time). Not so much of a problem since I'll just borrow someone else's IP and MAC address, but this is really getting annoying. Anyone know of a way to cut off internet traffic only to one program (uTorrent; I was downloading a beta client for Aion, I swear :)) when it gets to a certain data point? I need to be able to monitor both up and down traffic, because they all go into the same pool.

What's your bandwidth cap?

bout.. 5 years ago they gave us a 1GB cap. Talk about ridiculous....

Ever heard of a program called Zone Alarm? I think you can cut off packet send/receive to any process... which would be a crude way of shutting down all I/O except the one you want.

I'm pretty sure it has running totals of packet size/count as well.

3GB for 24hrs and 5GB for 72hrs. I just went over the 24hr one by 6MB :mad: I think I found what I'm looking for though: Netlimiter.

Bah, nope not it. Only limits data rates, not data amounts :( Anyone know of something that will measure my data amounts? It doesn't look like Zone Alarm can do that either Jordan.
