I keep using up too much bandwidth. I need a simple way to monitor how much bandwidth my computer is using.

I am kinda curious about something like this too. i am currently running cacti, which is a great package, but one thing i havent seen in these mrtg-like programs is running totals, ie how many bytes have i transferred so far this month (much like a typical web stats analyzer). is anyone aware of anything that does something like this, rather than just graph statistics like the packages above do?

Thanks, I'm running iptraf right now. Now I have to find someway to cut my usage down, before the bandwidth nazis get on my case again. It's my bittorrent stuff that takes up everything.
