Can someone point me to a free broadband usage monitor for osx?

[SilentLoner]

I am on a unlimited tariff for my broadband but I just wanna know how much data I use, also I wanna see how much data I use when using netshare on the iphone 😀

iStat is an option.

In OSX you can use free widget iStat. It has a section that shows bandwidth usage.

I am such a idiot, I have this already on my mac just didn't notice the meter lol.

This site is awesome!

Easy, you aren't an idiot. I bet that it's just a simple oversight... 🙂

Does anyone know if iStat differentiates Internet Traffic with other network traffic?

Won't iStat include things like Time Machine backups over the network, even though they don't effect your "internet usage"?

Don't forget that iStat will also only show usage for your computer. it won't include other devices like your Apple TV, iPhone, iPod Touch, or other computers/devices on the network...

Check out SurplusMeter. It'll give you your usage and you can select what connection you want to monitor too.

Ditto to iStat

Better than the iStat widget, use iStat menus, I love it. It just adds a very unobtrusive menubar item with all your network stats.

If you wanted to track usage for all of your devices using the connection, you'd have to use some kind of usage tracking thing on your router. I'm not sure if many come with this function built in though...

Use iStat Menus, it's easier to launch, and use, since it can go in the menu bar. The widget, well, you have to open dashboard everytime.

any broadband usage meter that measures time spent on the network and not necessarily amount? Thanks.

is there a program that tells me which process is using my bandwidth?
i know how much im using i just want to see what is using what amount.
