Re: download thresholds monitoring

DU Meter is quite simple and straightforward to run but you have to run it in each computer in a network and add the amounts together.

Of course, it won't run in any games machine you have using your connection so you'll have to find some way of measuring their usage of your connection.

Yeah I second that, DUMeter is very good. Small footprint, never crashes, just does what it says on the tin.
In my experience gaming uses little bandwidth, unless you are hosting of course. Watching the odd vid on utube is negligable too unless you spend the entire evening watching them..
