Anyone know of a bandwidth tracker for Linux?  I dual boot on my PC and have a server running Xubuntu...

EDIT: Nevermind, I found one.

For those curious.. What is the Linux bandwidth monitor you're using?

It's called vnstat.  Does pretty much the exact same thing NetMeter does, except it's command line based.

Just a reminder this is starting tomorrow. I ended March with 21GiB total UL and DL. I have a feeling I'll have to up the amount of browsing I'm doing in order to compete with some of you. ;)

Pretty impressive. I think based off what you've done this month that you'll likely win this competition.  :D Are you doing any torrents or just basic browsing?

Try: Surplus Meter

I don't have personal experience with this utility but if you try it or any other please let me know how good it is. :)

Well, I dont know how much I had last month with the two BSOD messages that I got that ruined the header of the logfile and made it so the program refused to open it.. but, for May, it says:
16.107GB Upload+Download

Now, I must admit, I do a lot of file transfers from my computer to my server and vice verse, which, isnt external internet, but, still, its bandwidth.

I can transfer 20GB through my ISP monthly, they charge you a little extra if you go over, but, I honestly dont think they check it.


652MB so far transferred for the month of April
