well use DUF (Dataone Usage Finder)...it is a software to find the total bandwidth usage per month...the latest version (1.4 beta), provides you with bandwidth usage after deducting th happy hour(2 am -8 am) usage. And also th bill amount.

You can download it from, *duf.sourceforge.net/

Another vote for DUMeter. Very efficient with lots of useful features. Other s/w.'s are resource hogging and not half as gud as DUMeter

well i use i-Speeder which is provided by MSI for its mobos only(i think so).
it measues real-time upload/download bandwidth and also the data transfered.

2 Queries
1) Is "Shaplus" App safe enough to access all the data1 record "by giving away the ID & Password on the Net"?

2) Why does my DU Meter ALWAYS shows/records MORE downloads/uploads figures than what ACTUALLY is from the bsnl dataone record fifures for downloads.uploads
So,since the DUMeter & BSNL Data1 records of DL/UL r always IN-consistent,How much Trustworthy the Record/figures of DU meter is?

Can..sum1 care to nser carefully?

1. Shaplus must be used with a firewall in order to ensure that its connecting only to the BSNL server and nowhere else. Its usually safe.

2. I dont get that problem. But for u/l, sometimes when the modem conncts data is sent too, DU counts each and all and not only when the connection is set...

Use NetMeter. It's far better than Shaplus and freeware unlike DU Meter.

NetMeter looks heavy seeing the graphics. I dont think I wud be giving it a try.

DUMeter is good as it is very light

Don't be fooled by the graphics, NetMeter is VERY light. It uses only 5 MB RAM.

Still, it is too much. DU meter takes less than 2 MB. So, it is almost 3 times.

One geeky option to do this is to use Samurize. And make our own meters to track it.

If anybody is using samurize pm ur email to me, i will send u my config.

I have a LG mobile phone, model no : B2100, it supports the voice ringtones in *.adp or *.dxm format. Kindly give me a converter which can convert any mp3 or wav file into the *.adp and *.dxm format.
