If you have a broadband internet service with a monthly download limit, you may find SurplusMeter comes in handy. It measures the download and upload traffic on your Internet connection and keeps a record of your traffic volume. It gives you all kinds of useful output statistics, like daily allowance, average daily usage, accumulated surplus, and more.
Statistics are presented in three ways: simple bytes in/out; summaries of megabytes used and remaining, and graphic meters which display at a glance when you're getting close to exceeding your limit.
New in this version:
-Traffic monitoring is now done by an invisible agent application (SurplusMeterAgent). SurplusMeter itself is now merely a viewer/controller. It therefore doesn't need to be running all the time.
-Traffic monitoring can be suspended and resumed at will. (Handy if you access the internet via a network connection.)
-Archive previous month's statistics to file when resetting.
-Application resets to zero automatically on first day of month, and archives previous month's statistics.
-Fixed bug where spurious data could be recorded when quitting and relaunching the app while a net connection was active.
-Minor interface refinements.
Requirements:
-OS X 10.3.9 or later.
