Does anyone know how I can track the amount downloaded by my computer? |
|
I want to know how much I've downloaded, even into the temporary file. My internet provider seems to think I'm downloading too much, and I want to be able to track it myself. Any suggestions?

3. I need to track everything. |
|
Images, etc. My provider says I use too much bandwith because I download too much. This includes watching movies, images on websites, everything. I want to track it.

9. Yeah, you know - animations, trailors, clips and the like. |
|
Not actual feature films.

2. Clear history, temporary files off your hard drive. |
|
And get a spyware killer. You could delete all the old cookies if you want to get drastic.

4. Best way for a non-technical person to "clr. hist. & temp. files"? |
|
Does running the Maint. Wizard do those things?

6. If you are reading this in Internet Explorer, click on your Tools menu, |
|
then "Internet Options," both on the General tab.

7. Just hold your cursor over the connection icon |
|
It will tell you bytes received and sent during any particular online session.

8. Do you mean the Internet Exporer icon or the icon for my provider? |
|
And holding my cursor over either gives me any information other than the name of the program.

I know what you mean. When I had dial-up, I had one, but I don't now. :shrug:

14. Update on these programs |
|
Tried to run Bandwidth Monitor and it said I was missing a dll and I didn't feel like looking for it so I installed Down2Home. Seems to work pretty good. You can monitor in real time and track by day, week, month or year plus your average speed. Doesn't seem to use too many system resources either. I give it a thunmbs up.
