While iftop is not as pretty as a GUI, it will provide totals while running. Check out http://home.insight.rr.com/procana/ for help on filter strings.

As I use a router/modem to access the net, I have a number of other devices connected to it. They don’t access the net, I just copy stuff to them via the router. Of course, the local network traffic gets included in my bandwidth measurements, so they’re not accurate. What I’d like to see one of these packages do is check the destination of the traffic and filter based on a list/range of addresses. That way, I could filter out all of my local IP addresses and only measure true internet bandwidth use.

LittleSnitch may be the de-facto, commercial option. I should do a summary of all the programs.

@Patrick thx. let us know if there are any other topics of interest!
