-snip usage explanation-

Measuring that sort of usage over the past year, I have used over
3 GB -- *per month* -- just once (a Linux month). All the other
months have been between 1.8 and 2.3 GB. That's per *month*.

In my experience, it takes a hell of a lot of file transferring
to hit 1 GB per day; if people are actually hitting that sort of
figure on a regular basis, they should be paying more for the
amount of 1s and 0s they're shifting through the cables.

I would suggest your useage isn't untypical for a PC interested
(rather than someone 'who just want's it for word and emails')
person.

I installed Netmeter on 2 of the 3 PC's here last night but this
morning it thinks the total traffic to date is 9M? I downloaded 3
x 10M files last night?

Anyone know if NM is accurate or if there are conditions that can
confuse it?

I know it can be confused if you're downloading from more than one
computer -- it's computer-based rather than router-based, I think --
but apart from that, it's always looked accurate to me.
