Downlaod Monitor

bdoolan · 2004-07-22 16:03:04

Just got Eircom Broadband and I'm looking for a good little program that will count my gigs and let me know when I've reached the miserly 8gb. I've downloaded Bandwith Monitor Pro but can't seem to get it to re-set - played with if for a few days and want it zero'd. Any suggestions? Great board!

Remember it's a target not a limit.

Newbie FAQ. That might help.

Also, a 5 second search would have found 100 such threads....

Remember it's a target not a limit.

its a target until they start charging, then its a limit. The only question is when will they start charging...

I'm planning on making a new faq along with a few other things over the next few days and I'll be including this sort of thing too.

Tried using the eircom meter but cant get past the phone number/account number logon - is this a specific broadband a/c number or the standard phone eircom account number
