    Hello all,

    I serve up my wireless to a few of my neighbors, and I am wondering if there's a free program or two that I can use to see how much they are using the connection. I'm not interested in sniffing packet content or anything, just want to see how heavily they are using the 'net and if they are torrent-mongers.

    This can be a vista application or a linux one.

    Thanks!

    Couldn't you limit their usage through your router? Charge them accordingly!
