Free usage monitor?

[Richie]

Hey,
Unfortunatelymy ISP doesn't supply information of what we download and how much we download. Is there any free usage monitors that are effective that i could download and install for my computer and my brothers computer? It's just handy to keep track of things. Preferably a program that isn't going to take up that much cpu (I'm assuming it doesn't anyways but just encase).

Have you checked your router? Most of them will provide a usage counter of some sort.

Bare in mind, the counter may show higher than actual usage if it doesn't distinguish between local network and internet traffic.
