Bandwidth Monitoring

So, Im not sure if this is the right place to be asking this, but I figure networking is as good a place as any. I share an internet connection with the people I live with, and at times I get accused of using more than my fair share of data, even though at times I know I'm guilty, there are times when I am not. What I want to be able to do, is to monitor what I use. This seems straight forward, I know, I have a conky setup that includes this. But we have a media server, and all incoming traffic from that is counted in the conky graph. So it may say that ive used 3 or 4 gig, but in reality, I've probably only downloaded a couple hundred Mb. Is there any way that I can monitor external traffic only (or even if i can monitor traffic to the file server, then I can just subtract that) Thans in advance for any help that anyone can give, I appreciate a resource like this so that people like me that are still learning can get by just a little easier (and with less rebuilds due to broken systems lol)

Re: Bandwidth Monitoring

Are you using the same interface to connect to the media server and to use the internet?

Re: Bandwidth Monitoring
