Publisher's description of DataCapper
DataCapper is a broadband datacap monitoring system. It allows users to monitor their internet data usage and supports several different modes of ISP data caps including monthly, daily, overuse charged by the megabyte and peak/off peak mode. The program uses SNMP to gather usage data directly from the modem or router so does not include LAN traffic like most other tools. This requires SNMP Agent support to be enabled through the modem's configuration page. Most modems and routers do support SNMP, but some do not, often the setting is disabled by default. Unfortunately, due to the nature of SNMP and the fact that DataCapper is unlikely to be running at all times, data usage can become inaccurate over time, so an option has been included to manually set the data usage to that provided by the ISP on their usage check page for the user's account. A Windows Sidebar gadget version is also available from the author's website, this requires Windows Sidebar Styler.
Version 1.2 adds a simple (averaged) rolling mode for DISH Network.

"small prroblem on install but otherwise very useful"
Pros: simple but desciptive display
Cons: Instal had a problem with my Draytek router but with a little guesswork got it running OK.
Summary: More useful than other metering software which doesn't distinguish between network and WAN traffic.

Version: DataCapper 1.2
Pros: Easy to install
Cons: Wasn't able to accurately monitor my downloads. I had to check with my ISP and fix the amount it said I'd downloaded every time I booted my computer up.
Summary: Not worth installing a product if it can't do what you want it to.
