Bandwidth meter?

[soccerballtux]

Any suggestions (low footprint ones, ones without spyware, etc)?

I would suggest NetMeter.

You can also try flashing your router with DD-WRT firmware. A little more work but gives you a bounty of options for monitoring your usage.

No problem, I'm glad I could help

This. I was without any other option, because of the LARGE amount of traffic on my local network it was impossible to get an accurate reading of my monthly bandwidth. One 1080 movie streamed to my PS3 was suddenly 25gb added to my upload according to all those bandwidth monitors. The DD-WRT firmware has a great utility in the Status->WAN section that will give you overall monthly and day-to-day internet bandwidth usage.

Not working in Windows 7 X64. Anyone else have any luck with the same OS?

Report to MS, works fine in vista 64 w/ uac off.

I really like Netlimiter 2. Not only does it meter all bandwidth (in very detailed fashion - you can see overall usage, usage by application, and usage by PROCESS), it also lets you set on-the-fly limits to HOW MUCH bandwidth you want to let any particular application/process use.

Yup, it's very customizable.

ddwrt tracks think tomato does as well

tomato firmware is great for this. it tracks daily, weekly, and monthly, and automatically backs up the data to a network share on your computer
