Watching a data cap

Network Bandwidth Monitor began as a console script for keeping an eye on
internet usage when I had a data cap. After learning some Tkinter, I gave it a
small desktop window.

The app reads system network counters through psutil and displays uploaded,
downloaded, and combined traffic. It also shows the change in each direction
between refreshes, updating roughly every second and a half.


An early Python utility

The implementation fits in one Python file. It reads the system counters rather
than keeping a persistent usage history, so it is a live view rather than a
monthly billing tracker. The original project was tested on Windows and Ubuntu.
