760780 2009-03-30 19:38:00 Hi,

Im looking for a free app to monitor net usage in my flat. Basicly I want something that can monitor the downloading of my flatmates so I have an idea of where the datacap is being spent. Any ideas please?

Cheers

What router do you have?

760786 2009-04-15 20:19:00 If you want a free software based solution, try something like Netmeter (www.softpedia.com). Just be aware that you'll have to install that on every PC you want to monitor, and it relies on the honesty of people not to disable it.

When you say "where" the data cap is being spent, do you mean you want to know what websites they're visiting? Or do you just want to know how much data each person is using?
