Most important features in DU Meter 5.0
-
DU Meter can discriminate between Internet and local LAN traffic, and monitor either of them. It can figure out what is Internet and what is LAN
traffic automatically, or you can supply a list of IP subnetworks you wish to monitor or ignore.
-
If your networking traffic is not free (or it starts to cost you over a certain monthly limit), DU Meter can calculate and display total cost of traffic
during this billing period. Peak/off-peak rates are supported too.
-
DU Meter can terminate all network connections as a result of an alert condition being met. E.g. you can specify that if monthly or daily traffic is
over a certain limit, no more network traffic will be initiated.
-
Alerts may be based on current monthly charges.
-
Many bug fixes and improvements in stability and robustness - DU Meter can automatically recover now from database corruption (extremely rare).
-
Still light system resources usage: Despite all these improvements, DU Meter still takes very little system resources
