| Can't find anything to tell me how much I've used!
before you recommend Bandwidth monitor or DU Meter I know they exist 
I want something that doesn't tell me about my LAN traffic too! I have a file server I upload to it so that skews all my numbers.
Find me a program that will work with my SNMP switch or even just a program that doesn't tell me internally my #'s and than I won't care.
Until I get a real count of how much traffic is flowing from my modem per month I won't be happy with any caps.

| Chiyo, you're on the right track. As you've suggested, a program like DU Meter measures the total bandwidth across a PC's Ethernet interface and can't distinguish WAN from LAN traffic. What you want is a program that measures the traffic across the WAN interface of your *router*.
If your router is SNMP capable, a program like WallWatcher can measure and plot the traffic you're both receiving and sending from/to the Internet. (It ignores the traffic that is confined to your LAN.)

I loaded "Tomato" firmware in my router...this has some pretty decent bandwidth logging tools built in. I am able to monitor the total WAN up and down traffic.
Very handy for keeping track of what is being moved...
Hope this helps.. www.polarcloud.com
