What software can i use to see my download usage?

Looking for a program that will allow me to see what my upload/download usage is. I have tried Netmeter but found it very buggy and will always reset itself.

What other options do i have? (Have Vista installed)


Thanks

    P.S. Wonder why bainy wants you to pm him/her?? Sounds very dodgy to me. May I remind bainy of this forum rule

    Are you sure your ISP doesn't provide a way to view your usage?

    Yeh, don't the isps have to show you your usage if it's capped?

    Sadly, none of the programs are any good for me as they just monitor network usage, and i transfer a lot of stuff around the network and stream vids to xbox. They of course add to the total in the programs but not my net usage!

    I was only going to give them a link to a legal download site for a legal copy rather than post it here, some forums do not like you posting live links to other sites. So there was nothing dodgy except in your eyes and yes I don't need anyone reminding me of the forum rules, I've got an excellent memory and am a member of countless other forums thank you very much.

    EDIT: Heres the download site and its coded so it ain't a live link, happy!!!

    Don't think you have to code it:

    -http://www.bandwidthmonitorpro.com/download.htm

    And if you go to advanced view and take the tick out of "Automatically parse links in text" you don't even have to use the "-".

    You have to switch editor mode to.

    Lesson over, sorry.
