    Hi there,

    So here's the thing, i'm not sure if many countries has this system or not but for example for for a dsl speed of 5 MB there's a download limit of 80 GB,the 80 GB includes everything downloads,browsing,chatting...basically any data sent or received through the internet.

    I'm in a LAN network with 6 other ppl and i'm wondering if there's some program that i can download that can calculate the amount of data sent/received me and the others on the network consume..that program should calculate everything not just downloads

    I hope someone knows about such program which is preferred to be free.

    Thanks in advance.

    BitMeter2, it would have to be running on each machine.

    Thanks 72hundred, but there is no program that can get the amount of data from all machines if just installed on mine?

    I know it's a long shot but maybe there's something out there :)

    It would have to be on the switch or router level which would only be abailable through a hacked routers firmware as far as i know.

    Comcast here in the states has bandwidth caps too but gives readout on their website for their usage. I use a 6mb dsl connection without any limits to worry about however :)
