Bandwidth Tracking

Seanohue · 08-29-2009, 01:27 PM

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

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.
