Hi all, Could anyone tell me how I can measure bandwidth I use from my computer? I'm interested in how much I chew up with certain activities on the computer. The Windows 2000 network thinggymugig only measures in packets. Thanks |

Netlimiter is shareware and also allows you to limit speed for the whole os or just for one program. On the free/OS side there is Pipelog: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pipelog You can also see this thread I made about the same thing http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=309121&hl=bandwidth |

You might want to run a couple of them. Sometimes they don't count the
same things. -e.g. Some count UDP traffic, some don't. Some count tcp
headers, some dont. etc. Router stats (if your router supports them) tend to be more accurate than stats on a particular machine. ------------- 
Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me. |

| I got Pipelog and it's great, I don't really want it accurate to the bit, as long as it's roughly ok I don't mind. |
