I need advice about what software to use to monitor the amount of data coming over an internet connection.?

Question

I present a scenario, you are on a el-cheapo mobile internet plan with a daily limit of 10mb of data a day. Going over that allotment is not desirable. The host computer is a tablet pc running Windows XP. What software or techniques would you recommend to help manage and/or monitor the amount of data going over the connection?

Answer 1

Here is the easy and free method.

It uses a free program (AnalogX Netstat Live) and your basic windows system.

Or if you want to buy one.
