logging internet usage of entire computer?

[omnomnom 0]

Hi there, i was wondering if its possible to track the internet usage of the entire computer?

This is because i have a bandwidth/download limit and i need to know how much i have downloaded each day so i can track if i am going over my limit.

Please could you point me in the right direction of which commands to use?

Thanks

Thanks, however i get an error...

ERROR: AdlibEnable(): undefined function.

AdlibEnable("GetInfo", 1000)

Also, would you mind explaining the code a little more? i would hate to just copy and use it without at least understanding it.

Thanks

EDIT: i can fix the error by changing adlibenable to adlibregister. however i still do not understand the rest of the code...

EDIT2: it seems that it calls netstat -e which gets the info from ethernet... i am using a wireless adapter, will that make any difference?

oops, I using 3G modem and info returned via netstat is little >, than what I see in Connection properties, and I don't know where is the truth.

So the right way is to search for " get traffic info by DllCall"

Thanks

You can use Networx.

It's a bandwidth monitoring tool. It tracks the current network transfer rate and keeps a database of traffic quantities over time. It's also free to use.

Just set it so it only monitor the correct network traffic so it only senses your internet traffic.

Thanks, however I am mostly looking to create my own so i can use it at work... I am only allowed to use stuff created by me (I am one of the IT guys) which is why i was looking how to create my own...

Any help?

Thanks
