    Download figures

    Not sure if this is the correct forum but here goes. Am interested in finding out my internet usage amounts. So this morning downloaded "Bandwidth Monitor" and " Net Meter". Well firts thing I noticed is they look identical. Any loaded okay and set them running. Now some 5 hours later they are showing a usage of 3.5GB which is patently incorrect as all I've done is check a few emails and visit two sites.
    Now when I checked a few minutes ago they were showing a constant download of 1MB/s which is about my maximum, with peaks of 4.5MB/s which I could never attain. It has now dropped to around a download speed of around 10KB/s. Do I assume these programs are pretty much useless?

    Hi

    Did earlier and shows very little activity. Plus my total daily usage has now fallen from what it was earlier. Pathetic program/s

    Do you access files over your network?

    They might be counted in that total too.
