Hi, Not too long ago, I set up a router powered by Gentoo Linux and old computer hardware. So far, it has worked like a charm and I am quite pleased with my accomplishment.
I am quite active in various BitTorrent communities, however my ISP doesn't take kindly to me eating all their precious bandwidth. Up until now, I have been using a cheap little windows utility to monitor monthly bandwidth and warn me if I go above my ISP's maximum. However, this has become inaccurate due to my use of Windows network shares. This machine now routinely records upload bandwidth in excess of 300 gigabytes per month, however I do not know which part of that is actually going to the interwebs. My question is this: is there a utility in Portage that you could recommend that would monitor bandwidth on a specific network interface, send me monthly reports via email and warn me if I am using too much bandwidth? Thanks a bunch -- Dan Cowsill -- [email protected] mailing list
