As a rule you should try and put it on the router, then you get all the traffic rather than a single machines traffic.

MRTG is good if you know how to install Perl etc and have it run every so often. I tried it, and it broke twice, now I can't be bothered with it. It now shows my connection running at 70Mbps up and 30Mbps down continually. It seems to run a fortnight then break. Weird.

PRTG is easy though since it has a nice GUI to do everything.
