I was wondering if there are any good applications to monitor how much data I use on my laptop in a month. My net connection has a restriction of how much data I can use after which the speed goes down considerably. I saw ntop, but I just wanted to ask if there are any other good options or suggestions regarding this.
Regards.

I was in a similar situation, but with slow speeds after a certain amount of data usage is reached (now I have a 16 GB 12 Mbit plan ☺) and I used
vnstat(packagevnstat). It's a command-line app that displays the bandwidth usage for today and previous days. as soon as it is installed, it will start monitoring the usage.Usage: run
vnstatto view the statistics,vnstat -dfor viewing daily usage. Add-i wlan0to the previous command if you are using a wireless network. See the manual page for it by runningman vnstatfor more information.
