Version: Bandwidth Monitor 2
"Awesome, almost perfect, and free!"
Pros: OK, here's my last 2 days. We have a 12GB limit per month, running 2 LAN PCs, 1 Wireless Laptop, and a PS3. We need to monitor that everyone is getting their fair share of bandwidth. Wanted a program to run off 1 PC and monitor the rest, some very expensive options available, and logging was pretty poor, 1 option seemed OK Ming Network Monitor, however couldnt capture the wireless (without an expensive addon) and seemed pretty inconsistent with the PS3. None others found could even calculate the PS3 usage. (Unless going with more advanced SNMP router). This program (Bandwidth Monitor Lite) does need to run on each computer, however it updates logs every second, and totals them for each day, so no probs if connection restarts, etc. Perfect for what we want.
Cons: If you need security, and dont trust your users, this isnt for you, as they can simply shut down the app. But otherwise perfect!

How did you get the program to run on the PS3 or how did you go about getting the program to monitor it's bandwidth? We have a PC and PS3, both wired.
