How to track uploads/downloads (bytes)?

[vishalrao]

Hi,Do you know of a simple way (some tool) to keep a track of all downloads and uploads bytes? Some kind of meter/accounter, so I don't get a rude shock and huge bill when I cross the limit (after Jun) - WinXP and Linux userIs there a BSNL website where you can "log on" to your account (not email) to get status information?I'm thinking of suggesting this to the BSNL people but I doubt they will be able to get anything done...Thanks

hehei meant they might not be able to impliment some new stuff if one customer asks for it 8-P

I'm not tracking the d/l u/l bytes because I am scared of bsnl or so..
I'm tracking it to see how fast and how much I can d/l with my connection. I've completed d/ling some 350MB in the past few hours.

I've used DU meter since 2000. Nothing comes close to it in functionality. Install the demo and you'll see.. http://www.dumeter.com/

I used DUMeter too, but it shows data being downloaded even when there isnt any, and too much at that.

thats the data transfer happening through the network card

No. This logs in to the webmail account. The BSNL Portal is at http://10.240.43.216/webLogin.jsp where you can change the p@$$word and check out the timing of your login / logout etc. But it does not show the amount of data transferred so far. I guess, it will do so soon.
