General Software Discussion / monitoring internet usage
« on: June 17, 2008, 08:30 PM »
hi
on my home internet connection i've got a monthly allowance of 6gb upload/download. after that my isp throttles back my connection to dial-up speed
in the last two months i've suddenly started exceeding my limit - the thing that is most confusing is that i don't feel like my internet usage habits have changed so i'm trying to figure out what is causing the most traffic.
i just downloaded a freeware program called BitMeter which looks pretty good - that will show me spikes in traffic over a period of time. but i was thinking what would be really useful is a monitoring program that shows which accessed urls are the most responsible for high traffic. it would be really cool at the end of the month (or some other timeframe) to see a list of urls ordered by the number of megs of traffic associated with them. then i could see which websites cost me most of my usage allowance.
any suggestions gratefully received
