Program to measure downloads

I would like to know how much I download each month. Is there a program which can do this?

Alan.

Nice collection on there

Will have to try a few of them and compare them to what I use now, NetMeter (also on there).

I'm getting 'strange' results when I try to download this. Goes to a snap download page, then either a 'porn site' or 'dating' site - but no download, this also includes the 'author sites'

Is this a one-off, or normal.

What have you got set in the "Alerts & Reports" tab ?

Roy MM · 18-09-2005, 23:54

Nothing i can detect, MSN msg and the site i'm on, no progs in the background, done a avast scan came up, clean.

I meant the "Alerts and Reports" tab of Netmeter. This needs to be configured with reporting periods and volumes (caps).

Netmeter sometimes, briefly produces erroroneous alerts when crossing a reporting boundary, but it soon clears itself.

Set to tell my when i'm going over 1G in a 24 hour period, must have been a freak call, it says i was 1,799GB yesterday, but i was watching footie most of the day, and my lads PC was off.
