Newbie question and wanted to know if i'm doing this right.

I've been using bit-lord for about a month now since some shows i download do not air where i am on local cable TV so torrents allow me to see these shows. Well got my first bill from my isp after using bit-lord and well cost me about 90$ for my extra bandwidth ouch yeah. So I lowered the transfer rate to 6KB/s but still I upload at 60 to 70KB/s. so here is the killer question is there a way to stop my uploads and downloads if I hit a specific amount of transfer either up or down which would stop these extra fees. I don't mind the speed getting used up it's the extra cost in bandwidth that are a killer.

Here's a handy little freeware program called Bitmeter. It monitors your download and upload usage so you will know when you're getting close to your limit. I don't know of anything off hand that will automatically stop everything, perhaps someone else does.

Does this suit your needs?

This is a plugin for Azureus, so you will have to try that if that plugin suits what you want to do. If not, then you shouldn't bother.

Thanks I don't have a limit during the day it's a monthly limit but I will give this a try and see if this works. Thanks

i'd recomend getting a system wide program, to actually monitor your entire connection, there are a few tools around like that and can be configured in many ways, for example one i saw someone using gives a warning when you get near to the limit then if you hit it your connection drops until you actually go back and re-enable it

dont ask me the name though

I think I'd have to find a new isp.
