| | | Software to Track Internet Data Transfer & Usage
I want to get a free software to manage my ADSL connection at home, which will tell me the amount of data transferred while I am on net, both sent and recieved. It will also keep monthly records on each time log-in basis, so that I can get my usage data. It should be absolutely a freeware, as i cannot pay from the place I reside.

As you know it now, I feel it will help you understand my problem better.
If you know of any such freeware that may help me monitor my internet usage(ADSL), please let me know. | Did you mean to say that you "are not using a free service provider?" Very few of us are. Does your provider charge you by the minute or by the amount of bytes transmitted? If so, did you check with them to see if they provide any tools to help you monitor?
I do not know of any specific freeware to do what you want. But I still question your need for it. Most DSL connections are always on and charge a monthly fee not a usage fee. If you are not charged for usage, then what is the value of monitoring? | |

Where do you live? Many other companies can give you much better Internet rates where you pay a monthly flat fee, no matter how much usage you use. | |
