Travel Technology - Bandwidth consumption monitor?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a program (Windows) that can tell you how much has been sent/received by your PC?
I'm looking at getting Virgin's Broadband2Go card, but they have caps like 250MB of transfer.
I'd like to get a sense of how much I'm using on a daily basis, for typical activities, to see if it makes sense for me.
Thanks!

You could take a look at http://www.thinkbroadband.com/tbbmeter.html but it may not go into sufficient detail for you - it is only tracking overall usage, not per app.

This is a VERY handy program:

Windows.
The Task Manager can show bytes received and bytes transmitted per adapter. The Performance Monitor can do the same.

Another shaplus vote here. It's been running on the laptop for a year now and never a problem.

Usually the connection manager software that the carrier gives you with the data card will do this.
