If you don't want to rely on a script I wrote, you can do:
grep eth0 /proc/net/dev | awk '{print $2}' ; sleep 60 ; grep eth0
/proc/net/dev | awk '{print $2}'
Assuming your internet connection is through your eth0 device.
/proc/net/dev includes column labels so you can verify the second column
is bytes received.
Subtract the values and you have bytes transmitted per minute. Devide
it by 60 to convert to seconds, and divide it by 1024 to convert to
kilobytes. So...
$ grep eth0 /proc/net/dev | awk '{print $2}' ; sleep 60 ; grep eth0
/proc/net/dev | awk '{print $2}'
18928602120
18931397743
$ bc -l
(18931397743-18928602120)/60/1024
45.50167643229166666666
45.5 kilobytes per second. (I have other stuff running, so not a
representation of azureus usage, just an example.)
