    Never heard of it. This something you have to purchase. Why buy when BitMeter and Netmeter are free and do everything you need.

    It is hardware for 'net cafes'.

    I am not familiar with rackeys.com. They might be completely fine, but I'll just add the disclaimer, as with anything else you find online, use at your own risk.

    I tried to PM you a link to Fapzilla, a script that will build a log of your usage, but you are set to not accept PMs. I run Fapzilla on boot-up, but if you keep your computer on continuously you can schedule it to record your usage every x hours, or whatever. Do a search for Fapzilla.

    Below is a chart of my 2008 Download usage that I generated from the FapZilla log. Note the 2GB download near the end of April and it rolls off 30 days later. Likewise there is a 2GB download mid June which rolls off 30 days later.

    Keep in mind these are different methods. Net Meter monitors usage on your end. Fapzilla reads your usage as reported by WildBlue.

    Also Net Meter only monitors the resident computer.

    That's right but you can install it on each computer on your network. Fapzilla is much better than Bitmeter or Netmeter but is difficult for many to set up if they don't have good computer skills.
