I always use http://pcpitstop.com. But make sure that you have nothing else running in the background (MSN Messenger, et al). You might get a more accurate figure in Safe Mode With Networking. If the safe mode figure is much higher try and find out what else is using your bandwidth. http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html is a great little utility that shows all the active internet connections on your PC

If you have the machine they are downloading from then you can just do a netstat to see where the connections are coming from.\n\nIf you do not know where they are downloading from then you will need to get a program like ethereal (packet analyzer) and set it up on a port on your switch that sees all local traffic.  It will record all of the traffic and provide analysis to show where the traffic is coming from.

Yes, there is. Install an application like nagios (freeware) or Look@Lan (freeware). Have that monitor the IP address of your router.\nBut it's usually not easy to understand all traffic that is going on in your network.

Use "netstat" command. Can show what ip's are conneceted, what ports are listening, etc.

http://www.dslreport.com - has a good speed tester, but be advised VSAT is a share media, so even tho, starband, or directway say you get 500 down, if everyone is on then your 500 down is drastically reduced,

it depends on ur speed/connection also... u can right clik ur connection and go to properties,  it will tell u your upload/download speed.... depending if you are on dialup / dsl /broadband .. the time differs.

Whenever you renew your internet connection... you can keep a log of how much bandwidth you consume on daily basis by installing a program called DUMETER...\n\nThis would give you exact analysis of the amount of bandwidth consumed...\nDownload DUMETER from: http://www.dumeter.com/\n\nAnother way is to check your Usage daily from the ISP Control Panel login, which also tracks your bandwidth usage..
