    Hi

    Heres a question. Myself and my flatmate are getting BB in this week or next week and we are going halfs on the connection costs. Say we have 16 gig a month download allowance. I know there is a stats page on the account but does anyone know of a way to tell which user/machine has downloaded what data, or basically count the size so that we can try stick to 8gig each.

    what you could do is install one of this download meters on each PC, the PC itself will do a count of the download and set the PC to cut of after 8 gigs.

    Just try and collaborate on what you download. Theres nothing worse than finding out that your mate has downloaded the same 6gig "Linux ISO" as yourself!

    dumeter or bwmeter would be your best bets.

    I find download.com has a lot of spyware ridden programs.

    Netmeter is a great little program for tracking the amount you've downloaded. Its available here :
