Bandwidth meter?

Is there a cgi script for this?

[kingkelly]

I feed off of free hosts, and am frequently getting kicked off because i use too much bandwidth. I am looking for a little script that will tell me how much bandwidth ive used up for the month (PERL). This was, i will know if i should cut down on certain scripts, and what i would be looking for in a real host in the future.

Much responce would appreciated :)

I believe that many ISPs/Hosts use MRTG to monitor bandwidth usage : [mrtg.hdl.com...] ... It may be overkill for what you want though.

Not unless you access to the raw logs KingKelly. Do you?

nooooooo, im on free.prohosting.com

I guess i should pay for hosting when im eligible for a VISA.... oh well

MY NEW PROBLEM: Is there javascript that doesnt let a certain URL popup everytime i go to my page? Theres an annoying popup (I know the exact URL of it) everytime i access my page. Is there a few lines of code to get rid of it?

Actually you CAN monitor your bandwidth in a circumspect way...

You know how big each page is with all the embedded items, such as images down to a byte.

You can put counters on each page, count how often each page get's downloaded. Add it together and you got your bandwidth usage more or less. It will be missing inbound request traffic, and anything else the server tacks on, plus maybe those nice little pop-ups...

Bandwidth usage is such a misnomer I think. It should be like total traffic usage or something.

hmmm, its not so much the actual pages/pictures usage im worried about, its the cgi script usage that really eats up the bandwidth. My site is only on 1 page so no worries.

I use NewsPro, and Anaconda Director for searching between like 25 external search engines... how would i add that usage up?
