need software that limits internet activity

[Laco]

Hi,

I am going to travel to a country where I will be paying a lot for internet. So I need to make sure that no background programs are downloading/uploading. Basically I want to limit internet activity to Skype and Safari. (I have Snow Leopard).

Thank you for your suggestions!
