I need an application that will measure the amount of data I transfer in and out over time (like a week or month). If it can distinguish between local network and internet traffic that would also be extremely useful.
Does anyone have any reccomendations?

Your ISP should provide that info on your account pages. I've used a couple of such programs, and in the end they are always somewhat off of what the ISP considers (which, in the end is what counts).

Du Meter (30 day demo, not free) has daily/monthly/weekly totals, but does diffrentiate traffic only by interface.
Net Meter (free, really old) is really old but iirc it was basically free clone of dumeter, so it should have same totals counts.
I guess this would be newer
Net Meter (demo, not free, haven't used)...
Dunno how "right" these meters are, as my ISP doesn't care about transfer amounts.

I'm living in a flat with other users on the same connection. I'm looking to monitor specifically my own useage.

Thanks, I'll check those out.
Edit: That free netmeter seems to be basically what I'm looking for.
