Re: [FRIAM] Monitoring Data Usage
@Nick Did you mana to find what's eating data? I don't know how you usually use the internet, Basically when you use a cellphone for internet (totally fine) you start at Warp2 , then pretty quickly get nocked down to about Warp 0.5 Google's Chrome for FRIAM emailing (for instance) eh they don't care about that. Watching Game of Thrones on Google Chrome through your Cell company they think is amusing and fine On the other hand playing WarCraft over your phone, or as I just found out getting some Nordic music and Klingon style music for a KFA vacation they say is fine but now you're down to about Warp 0.5 Skype has a rep for not actually going away when you tell it to quit to as well Windows 10 also does updates even when you ask it to let you know if a update is coming. For those of us on DSL those patches eat all the available space on the tube (GRR) On Wed, Aug 3, 2016 at 10:39 AM, Nick Thompson wrote: > Thanks, Sarbajit, > > > > The task manager is really interesting.

Re: [FRIAM] Monitoring Data Usage
Hi Nick I guess you want to identify the sites / processes on your Win-7 PC which are hogging your bandwidth. You will have to use the aptly named Win-7 "Task Manager" for this which is accessed by pressing the "Ctrl-Alt-Del" keys simultaneously. After "Starting the Task Manager", click the "Performance" button (on top), this will give you access to the "Resource Monitor" button (bottom right hand). Click. Then click "Network" on top. Using this tool, I was able to establish (sufficiently for my own intellectual satisfaction) that Google, in India, was secretly "stealing" (or utilising) the bandwidth and drives of users with high-speed connections for 'peering' which was making their services faster than their competitors.

Re: [FRIAM] Monitoring Data Usage
Nick, I assume you use a Windows system ? On a Mac you can look at the System Monitor to get information which seems to be what you are looking for. Perhaps others here can suggest a similar program on a Windows system. Joe On 7/31/16 11:34 PM, Nick Thompson wrote: Hi, Sarbajit, Thanks for the tip.

Re: [FRIAM] Monitoring Data Usage
One idea would be to configure your web browser to use a proxy server that was a parental control router. http://www.blocksi.net/parental-control.php Then you could use the analytics in the router software to study your own behavior (instead of a child’s). There may be cloud-based services for this too. For example, many organizations block prohibited content of various sorts for their employees or patrons, and would typically need to make use of a global database to do it. They wouldn’t maintain the blacklist themselves, but would have some service provider making inventories of various bad stuff. Anyway, censorship tools for kids or grown-ups will likely have the ability to measure bandwidth as a side feature.
