Downloads on international traffic are charged after a quota is reached. This tool measures the downloads. This version of Cost Aware will check for updates and revisions and alert you when a later version becomes available. NetInternals has increased the number of countries supported. CostAware now supports 173 countries.
It is quite small and manageable. The size and installation wasn't too bad.

I use this program so I can monitor my downloaded volume so I don't pass my monthly limit.
Only thing I miss here is the Upload volume.

Summary
I find it useful to know how much data I've downloaded in a day, but despite the number of utilities out there that are designed to do this, it's surprisingly hard to find one that works well. Many of them misleadingly report data sent via the localhost loop - data that really isn't of much interest in most cases. CostAware is excellent - it's not very feature-rich, but I find that a *good* thing, as it runs in my system tray without me even noticing. It accurately reports data downloaded from the internet, and divides this into domestic and international traffic. They could probably do with adding in a feature to reset the counters at intervals other than one month, but for a free download meter, you really can't beat it.
The best tool out there to monitor your internet traffic
