    I would like a program that lets me know how much data I've used. My internet plan has a small quota that I keep blasting through and frankly, I don't know how I'm pulling it off. I'm looking around but I can't find software that I like. I'd like it to be invisible to me, no system tray or anything. Just record the data in the background and when I want to check out the usage, I open the program up. Is there any software or any built-in Windows check or something? Thanks.

    I use Networx
    It keeps a record of your bandwidth down to the hour. Even set alarms when youve exceeded a set limit. Very customizable.

    It goes on the system tray though.... but its a very silent program.
