Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage without using SNMP or MRTG.

This program is freeware and produces very nice reports such as the one below:

Ooooh that looks like a nice toy.
Been looking for something that would show exact BW used by NNTP.
I use DUMeter atm, annd have done for years but it also includes LAN traffic in its reports and there is no breakdown.

Looks very nice thanks Keyser :)

Re: Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage
 

Impressive.. I'll be testing this one tonight :)

as an aside.. i found this today : http://www.hlembke.de/prod/3dtraceroute/

I've not tested it yet as our ISP has disabled ping/traceroute .. but it looks very good and has lots of useful features.. including no install.. it just runs from a single executable

tried the trafficstat and kept crashing on XP Pro for me

Re: Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage
 

It runs fine for me on XP Pro, are you logged in with Administrator rights? It may not be that but you never know.

Re: Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage
 

yes im logged in as admin

Re: Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage
 

installed it for a second time and seems ok now

Re: Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage
 

Kerio firewall has a nice traffic monitor built into it....only usefull uf you use a software router though as it just shows the traffic going through each network adapter.

Re: Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage
 

TrafficStatistic looks like a very useful piece of freeware - a good find! :)

I guess I am asking the impossible, but is there any easy way of logging bandwidth usage across multiple computers (on a router)? If not, I guess the simple way is to add up the totals from TrafficStatistic on each PC!

Re: Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage
 

No easy way, but it is being duscussed here. You basically need to use SNMP if your router does not have a built in reporting page. Programs such as MRTG can get the information via SNMP and then do things with it such as produce reports and graphs.

Thanks for pointing out that thread. :o I'll go and have a read!

Re: Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage
 

I have traffic statistics and Network probe running without too many problems but out of the two netporbe is the one that is the best.
Shame about the high charge to get a licence think they have taken lessons from Bill Gates. :rofl:

I will revert to the free one when the 7 days is up. You will find links to netprobe on hte other thread that here Thank you Frank for posting it earlier.

New version
 

Nice to hear that, Kitty.

We got a new version (1.1.0.1) of TrafficStatistic for download. Except some bugfixes, this version's new feature is an editor for specification of local addresses and ports to be captured or not captured. This allows eg to capture traffic to a proxy or VPN link but exclude the rest of local traffic.

Here is a link that will always point to the latest English version:

Re: Another program to monitor your bandwidth usage
 

looks nice but clientside applications are useless for reliable monitoring usage, especially on a multi-box household.

most client side b/w usage monitors lose a usage of a session if your computer is rebooted inadvertently ie bsod or total freeze, kidz or the mrs pulling the plug from the kidz comp

heres a nice small one if you find that intrusive called netstatlive from www.analogx.com

still if we have the need by the isp to monitor usage we need a web interface server side to see what is going on.
