BitMeter OS is a free, open-source, bandwidth monitor that works on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. BitMeter OS keeps track of how much you use your internet/network connection, and allows you to view this information either via a web browser, or by using the command line tools.
The Web Interface displays various graphs and charts that show how your internet/network connection has been used over time, why not try out the online demo right now?
The Monitor pane displays a graph that updates once each second, showing you what's happening with your connection right now:
The Query pane gives you detailed information about your bandwidth usage on any date/s that you specify, and lets you export the results to a spreadsheet
The History pane illustrates how your connection usage has changed over the last few hours, days, and months
BitMeter OS also lets you define Alerts to notify you when your internet usage exceeds some limit that you specify.
The Calculator utility lets you work out how long it will take to upload or download a file, or how much data you can transfer in a certain length of time
The Preferences pane allows you to customise many aspects of the interface to suit your needs, including the built-in RSS feed

BitMeter OS - Downloads
Two releases of BitMeter OS are currently available - the v0.7.6 release is fairly stable and well tested, the v0.8.0 release has some compelling new features, but has not been subject to as much testing and is likely to contain more bugs. Functionally, the main difference between the two is that v0.8.0 can distinguish between Internet and Home Network Traffic, whereas v0.7.6 cannot.
BitMeter OS v0.8.0 (experimental)
If you use this release, please let me know how it's working!
| Windows | Download |
| Linux 32-bit | Download |
| Linux 64-bit | Download |
| Mac OSX | Download |
BitMeter OS v0.7.6 (stable)
| Windows | Download |
| Linux 32-bit | Download |
| Linux 64-bit | Download |
| Mac OSX | Download |
Members of the Unity Linux community have also produced RPM files for both 32-bit and 64-bit Linux, see this forum post for details.
Desktop Client (experimental, only works with v0.7.x of BitMeter OS)
This client provides a floating graph window on the desktop, displaying data captured by BitMeter OS. It is in the early stages of development, and will certainly contain bugs. You must install BitMeter OS before using this client, it won't work on its own. You will also need to have Python, and the wxPython libraries, installed on your system - most Linux and OSX systems should have these already, Windows users can download them from here: Windows Python installer, wxPython libraries.
The source code for this utility should provide a useful reference for for anyone wishing to develop other BitMeter OS clients - Python code is quite easy to understand even if you haven't used the language before.
