need a network tool

[Skrabrug]

I'm not really sure if this sort of program has been made but i need to find a program for a client who is complaing thier hosuemate is useing all fo their monthly downloading and claiming my client is the one who used up all the monthly download.

so i need a fiarly easy to use internet download/network download manager that even monitors how much of the downlaod limit playing CoD4 takes up and other FPS games while playing online.

but yeah.. my client only uses the net to playing games online.. nothing else : / (and his housemate is claiming my client has used over a gig jsut in the past week of downlaod via playing games online?)

also this is for games he hasnt downlaod patches/updates for or anything.

You could always enable "Parental Controls" on Host computer. Limit what the other party can do and log every site visited.

personal preference is something accidentally happens to the housemates computer....

but looks like xfire came up with a few free ones which *proceeds to dl out of curiousity* had to have been hard to find... only ones i came up with off google were pay versions..

Download.com can be trusted. I've used it many a times.

the problem is they don't offer "unlimited downloads" with the decent net speed connections here.

@ Xfire: thx man :D

just kind of a reference point, have been running watchwan for the last 8hours or so today, just doing my standard around the net/chatting and currently at about 100mb this is without gaming just kinda hovering around the net a couple speed tests, 3 small downloads, misc tabs hovering open which upon a refresh of all is 6.5mb alone..

i know that in openWRT you can easily check the bandwidth useage, and you can even write a script to check the bandwidth useage, and then log it every so often so you can graph it, but the actual data for each connection, i dont know how to do it but since its linux if you find someone with alot of linux knolege they will know how to do it for sure
