Softperfect do a free monitor as well;;, I think this can split between peak and free downloads - and it's free !

I can't get it to start working though. It's in the tray, I've adjusted all the settings, but it doesn't measure any traffic.
Any ideas?

had to read the help files for an hour mind
used it for a month
it works fine
not sure on your free version, read the help files , you will probably get it to work
you may of missed something during the set up
if not download the standard version, use it for a month till you get used to it
its a great program , i have it on my pc myself, only it cost about 60 bucks to register the version
not that its not good value for money

left the connect to host as localhost
on my version you create a rule then press the green connect button, you just need to click on the 'summation' button/ then select quota usage tab to view a usage graph
then let it auto update on the meter
which it does every 1 minute
I just left it running then hourly checked my usage graphically via this meter

If you go into advanced setting you can synchronise over the network, I have two XP laptops that I have shared files, will this do?, I am not really into networking, never had a need for it

Hi Bellx15
Sorry but only just read your posts - have you solved your problem now ?
When I set up mine I just went into settings checked them out especially the peak/off peak table on the Advanced Tab. Then the only thing I think I changed was the Quota figures - and it was up and running

I noticed the tag to monitor over the network, but I'm not sure if it will pick up any downloads brought down onto the other machine or if it is just downloads on the "monitored" machine plus any data transferred between machines on the network -
The only problem I had when I was setting it up was what to put against the quota for Off-Peak traffic - because there isn't a usage limit ! I wasn't sure if it would capture the usage if there wasn't a quota against it so I put in 100Gb
Let us know what happens after midnight - with your monitor that is

That's all relating to a standard home LAN using a router. I'm not sure about using ICS since all the internet traffic goes through the one PC and it's modem anyway so I think you'd just monitor that PC.
