There is a proxy.r at rebol.org. For http, it should be able to count this. How can one write proxies for ftp, email and that? another way: is a "DU Meter"s output text, and includes size and url in a log, rebol should be able to parse it, and sum. Hopefully so short that porting would not be a problem :) Volker --- In einer eMail vom 02.03.00 01:35:17 (MEZ) Mitteleuropäische Zeit schreibt [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > short version: I need a multiplatform internet traffic counter that counts > all upload and download internet traffic from my PC to beyond my ISP. > Something very simple like "DU Meter" (www.tucows.com) for win9x would do > just fine except that it calculates ALL traffic.
