Monitoring network upload and download data transferred.

Question:

Monitoring network upload and download data transferred.

Answer:

Windows users

There are several different software solutions to help monitor and list the total data transferred over your computer. However, we highly recommend NetMeter, a great free utility that runs in the background and is capable of keeping track of your upload and download data transfers.

As can be seen in the above visual example of NetMeters Totals and Reports screen the program lists your upload and download transfer totals for the day, week and month as well as your peaks hit and averages.
