What software do you use to track your downloads so you stay within your cap?

I'm in shock to be honest. 4 years of dire patchey 33-40k dialup. Got hooked up today for 3 months free 1.5mb.... :eek: As my phone line fails the test, cap isn't an issue as I've no other option, but I don't know what it is. 1GB a day? Is there a monthly limit?

Regardless I'll have to keep an eye on it.

yeah, it goes soooo easily.

my main problem is that i used to live in tenerife with 512/256 dsl (3 and a half years ago too) with no cap at all, and i got used to downloading anything and everything i could get my hands on. i ended up deleting gigabytes of stuff on a weekly basis just to reclaim some HD space.

now i have nearly 14gb d/l for my first month and there's still 12 days to go for the other 2gb. it's a sorry state of affairs indeed.

does anyone know if IOL have started charging for going over the cap yet? if so, how much over would i have to go before they slap the bill on me?

so much for the 'free' trial. :rolleyes:
