    "Exactly What I Needed"

    March 27, 2011  |   By joeskeezix

    Version: BitMeter 2 3.5.10

    Pros

    Measures everything in or out.
    Launches at startup, hangs out in my system tray.
    I can stay one step ahead of my nasty capping ISP.
    Has a start day for ISP restrictions so no matter what your billing date is, it will track your monthly allowance.

    Cons

    Can be turned off. If someone accidently exits it - no more tracking :-(

    Summary

    If you're looking for fancy graphs and charts then this is not the one for you. But if your ISP has a tiny little cap and charges $1.50 per Gb, or portion thereof, that you go over (like Bell Canada does), it is an excellent resource to keep you on track and stop annoying overage charges.

    "Worth the download for mobile internet users..."

    December 24, 2010  |   By bxs204

    Version: BitMeter 2 3.5.10

    Pros

    Here's what you need to keep track of band usage for mobile internet users. Simple, but it does the job. I'm using it everyday now.

    Cons

    Not to pretty to look at...but for free, it's one of the best most useful downloads here. If your into keeping records so you don't go over your mobile internet providers limit per dollar... give this a try anyway. Nothing to lose.

    Summary

    For free, it's one of the best most useful downloads here. If your into keeping records so you don't go over your mobile internet providers limit where they jack up the price... give this a try. Nothing to lose.

    "Everything I needed in a small size"

    November 29, 2010  |   By DomDico

    Version: BitMeter 2 3.5.10

    Pros

    View bandwidth usage over the web
    Filter out which IP addresses can access the info
    View month/week/day usgae
    Set a limit alarm

    Cons

    No way to keep the program from being closed by a user, so it cannot be monitored if they close it.

    Summary

    I Love BitMeter 2 becuase it is a small program and what I have been looking for. I wanted to view how much badwidth one PC of myne used each month and to be able to keep logs and view remotly. BitMeter 2 was more than I wanted, I can view month, week and day usage of data. I can view the stats on the web with any computer with the IP address I put into the program. You choose what IP address(es) can view the web log. The UI is super easy to use, does not take up any noticable CPU power. The ONE thing I absolutly dispise about this product is that it has no security. By that I mean taht I cant password-protect it to prevent it from being tampered with by a user. If they keep all else the same but make it so it can naver be closed without a password, or so it is not noticable to select users, then it will be absolutly perfect.

    I'm Dominic DiCOstanzo, and I am already recommending this to all my friends.

    "Handy little tool"

    November 15, 2010  |   By pelicancraig

    Version: BitMeter 2 3.5.10

    Pros

    Simple to use. Lets you know what your usage is by day, week, and month.

    Cons

    Since it's free, why try and find fault?

    Summary

    "Great Program! Lacks features."

    October 30, 2010  |   By Rick-O-Shay

    Version: BitMeter 2 3.5.10

    Pros

    Does everything I could want it to do... basically just monitor how much data travels through my computer, both upload and download.

    Cons

    It only monitors data on this computer. It does not monitor data usage through the network. I really want to know when other computers in the house are connecting and using data... and how much data is being transferred. :(

    Summary

    Even with the 1 very sad con... I will still keep the program. It is very handy.
