Just curious to know whether there is a Sidebar Gadget for Vista which is specifically made for IDNet? Or maybe one which works well. I've attempted to look but that didn't work out too great. Any feedback/info is appreciated.
Thanks :)
Nothing made as far as I'm aware.

That's a shame, It really would be handy to have one. Thanks for the response Glenn. :)
Use your task manager, Click on the "Networking" tab to view and monitor the network traffic corresponding to your local computer. This will allow you to see the amount of bandwidth being used. If you have a home-network connection set up, it will display a graphical comparison between the traffic for each user.

Thanks for the tip Gary :)
It happens I don't have a home network, Was just looking for the lazy mans way to view bandwidth usage rather than logging into the IDNet website. :P
Thanks for the useful info though!

OR..... Google Bandwidth Monitor ;D there are plenty available.
I have this running on 2 machines and it does a good job, it sits in the tray and pops up when you call it to view,fades nicely and can be skinned.

This also seems nice, the only issue I see with the App is I will have to keep track of the days instead of having a monthly figure to refer to. Example: I would need to Add the separate days up to find my current monthly usage. Unless there's some feature/setting I missed. May take a look anyways, Thanks DorsetBoy.
These look interesting :

Be aware though gadgets in Vista can use up a lot of ram and CPU time if they are not written well
