Oops, I somehow sent that while composing. I was saying, nethogs will show active network activity by program, so you can see who is using network data at that moment, in a top-like fashion. Not a "how much has it used total", but a "how much is it using right now". Here's an example: NetHogs version 0.7.0 PID USER PROGRAM DEV SENT RECEIVED 29641 root git wlan0 0.929 0.649 KB/sec 29620 root /usr/bin/svn wlan0 0.187 0.269 KB/sec 29509 paul sshd: p...@pts/1 wlan0 0.883 0.136 KB/sec 29612 root git wlan0 0.119 0.131 KB/sec 29591 root /usr/bin/python wlan0 0.000 0.000 KB/sec 0 root unknown TCP 0.000 0.000 KB/sec TOTAL 2.118 1.185 KB/sec
