Hi there! I'm a newbie on hosting experience, as I did move my site from Blogger to self hosted Wordpress.

Currently, my site is in a shared server, and I was wondering if there is any free tool or app I can use to monitor server bandwidth?

I'm pretty close to my monthly bandwidth limit and I would like to analyse why did that happen - cause I've had the same amount of traffic as last month and this didn't happened.

Thanks in advance and please forgive my English.

If can get your server logs for the site, every file request and the bytes (up and down) will be recorded in it. Using another tool, like a spreadsheet, you should be able to see which files are using the bandwidth. There are lots of places on the web that will tell you how to read a log file and what the different fields are.
