Monitor your broadband traffic with SurplusMeter

You need a more friendly ISP!! I haven't got close to my download limit yet - but I'll only get charged 2 per month if I need another Gb for some reason.

Ooooh yeah. Never thought of that. I'll just install it on all three machines, and add up the totals. But it's free so I'm not complaining.

great! but now if Comcast would tell me what that limit is, instead of just calling and threatening me if I download "too much" again they will shut me off. Wouldn't even give a rough idea what "too much" is. Sounds like if you're in the top 1% you're in violation. So others need to start downloading more then? really stupid.

I wonder if the guy looked in his Utilities folder before making this program. Activity Monitor will do just about the same thing - minus a few features - if you just click on the "Network" tab of it.

This is great, I've been looking for an app like this (Damn BT!). I have two computers connected via router but the other is Windows and therefore doesn't get much use. :p

That's all well and all.. but as the previous poster said.. I mean really - how many people have just 1 PC at home these days? Especially people that bother to read this website.

My recommendation is for ANTG.. it's great, and can pull information with a little confiruation from any SNMP device. I use it to pull from a Linksys switch and it monitors all input and ouput traffic.

All this does is monitor the traffic for the machine it's installed on. No way this can measure correctly in a multi-machine switched LAN environment.

This is really great! Before I had to check usage on my ISP's clunky website, but now it's all contained within my computer! yay!
