geek_询问How-To Geek：如何监视带宽使用情况？

If you’re lucky you enjoy wide open internet access with out restriction (or restrictions so high you would have to work all month to meet them). If you’re not so lucky, you’ve got an ISP with heavy caps. Today we help out a reader working under such a cap.
如果幸运的话，您可以不受限制地享受开放的互联网访问(或如此之高的限制，您必须整月工作才能满足他们的要求)。 如果您不是很幸运，则说明您的ISP的收费标准很高。 今天，我们为读者提供帮助。
Dear How-To Geek,
亲爱的How-To Geek，
I’m having some trouble with my ISP and I hope you can help. The problem is that my ISP imposes a 250GB a month cap and the connection is shared between myself and four other roommates. If you surpass the cap two months in a row they automatically bump you up to the next tier of service. The next tier is twice as much! The problem is that my roommates see me as the “downloader” and all eyes are on me as the cause. I’m more than confident that I wasn’t using more than my fair share of the allotment. What can I do to track it? Our router is locked down by the ISP custom firmware or such is out of the question. I’m running Windows on my machines. Help!
我的ISP遇到了一些麻烦，希望您能提供帮助。 问题是我的ISP每月设置250GB的上限，并且我和其他四个室友之间共享连接。 如果您连续两个月超过上限，他们会自动将您提升到下一层服务。 下一层是两倍！ 问题是我的室友将我视为“下载者”，而所有人的目光都集中在我身上。 我非常有信心，我不会使用超出分配的公平份额。 我该怎么做才能追踪它？ 我们的路由器已被ISP定制固件锁定，否则将无法解决。 我在计算机上运行Windows。 救命！

爱尔兰的ISP问题
Dear Ireland,
亲爱的爱尔兰，
250GB isn’t much to split among 5 people, it would be pretty easy to burn that up in this age of streaming HD video, large iTunes downloads, and more. The reality of the situation is that for 5 people you might actually need the higher plan in order for everyone to get an adequate slice of the bandwidth pie (and account for those spikes when people do heavy downloading).
250GB在5个人之间分配不了多少，在这个流式传输高清视频，大型iTunes下载等时代，将其消耗掉很容易。 实际情况是，对于5个人，您可能实际上需要更高的计划，以便每个人都能获得足够的带宽份额(并解决人们进行大量下载时的峰值)。
That said we fully understand your desire to not be fingered as the guy that caused the bill to double. Let’s take a look at how you can monitor your internet access from your windows machines. You can find a multitude of bandwidth monitoring applications online but many of them are just simple little counters that give you a raw number and a thumbnail graph of your bandwidth use. We’re going to use something a little more powerful to help track your usage and present a more compelling case to your roommates.
就是说，我们完全理解您希望不要成为导致法案翻倍的人。 让我们看一下如何从Windows计算机监视互联网访问。 您可以在线找到许多带宽监视应用程序，但是其中许多只是简单的小计数器，为您提供了原始数字和带宽使用情况的缩略图。 我们将使用功能更强大的功能来帮助跟踪您的使用情况，并向室友提出更引人注目的案例。
First you’ll need a free copy of NetWorx. It’s free, it’s powerful, and it can generate usage reports in a variety of formats (and even across the network for different users). We’d recommend the portable copy, it’ll be easiest to throw on a flash drive and clone to your different Windows machines. Note: the only reason you would want to go with the installed version is if you transfer large volumes of data within your local network (such as streaming media to a media center or sharing files with your roommates). NetWorx must be formally installed in order to use a small driver necessary to separate local traffic from internet-based traffic.
首先，您需要免费的NetWorx副本。 它是免费的，功能强大，并且可以生成多种格式的使用情况报告(甚至跨网络为不同的用户提供)。 我们建议您使用可移植的副本 ，这将是最简单的方法，可将其放在闪存驱动器上并克隆到其他Windows计算机上。 注意：要使用已安装版本的唯一原因是，如果您在本地网络中传输大量数据(例如，将流媒体传输到媒体中心或与室友共享文件)。 必须正式安装NetWorx，才能使用必要的小型驱动程序将本地流量与基于Internet的流量分开。
Run NetWorx for the first time to complete the basic setup. You’ll choose your language and then the network connection you want to monitor. It is very important you take the time to select the network connection you actually use to connect to the internet. If you choose to select all connections then NetWorx will count all the data transfer on your computer (including bluetooth file transfer, infrared and miniport transfers, etc.). You want this to be as accurate as possible so select the Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection that is your primary data pipe.
首次运行NetWorx以完成基本设置。 您将选择语言，然后选择要监视的网络连接。 花时间选择实际用于连接到Internet的网络连接非常重要 。 如果选择所有连接，则NetWorx将计算计算机上的所有数据传输(包括蓝牙文件传输，红外和微型端口传输等)。 您希望它尽可能精确，因此请选择作为主要数据管道的Wi-Fi或以太网连接。
Once you’ve selected the appropriate data connection, finish the setup. NetWorx will minimize to your system tray. Mousing over the icon will (by default) show you the current transfer rate. You can change this in Settings –> Main – > Tray Icon Information to display your daily, weekly, or monthly traffic. Changing it to monthly traffic would be the most useful for your purposes.
选择适当的数据连接后，完成设置。 NetWorx将最小化到您的系统托盘。 将鼠标悬停在该图标上(默认情况下)将为您显示当前的传输速率。 您可以在“设置”->“主要”->“纸盘图标信息”中进行更改，以显示您的每日，每周或每月流量。 将其更改为每月流量将对您的目的最有用。
If you are setting up NetWorx on a laptop or other computer that is frequently outside of your house (and thus downloading data through other connections like coffee shop or university Wi-Fi nodes) you’ll want to add a filter so that NetWorx only counts the data transfer when you’re on the network with the data cap.
如果您要在经常不在屋外的笔记本电脑或其他计算机上设置NetWorx(从而通过咖啡店或大学Wi-Fi节点等其他连接下载数据)，则需要添加一个过滤器，以便NetWorx只带有数据上限的网络上的数据传输。
Navigate to Settings –> Main –> Networks… in order to select the network you want it to monitor. Check it and toggle the setting to “only networks selected below”.
导航到设置–>主–>网络… ，以便选择您要监视的网络。 选中它，然后将设置切换为“仅以下选择的网络” 。
At this point you have everything in place you need to monitor how much of the data pie you’re eating. If you can get the rest of your roommates to use NetWorx you can take an extra step and synchronize your NetWorx installations across the network so you don’t have to manually tally the data from separate machines at the end—this would be more than ideal since it will allow all users on the network to see all the data usage and immediately show who the hog is. Head over to Settings –> Advanced and check “Synchronize usage data…” in the Synchronization section at the bottom of the settings box.
此时，您已经准备好一切，可以监视正在吃的数据饼中有多少。 如果您可以让其余的室友使用NetWorx，则可以采取额外的步骤并在网络上同步NetWorx的安装，因此您不必在末尾手动对来自单独计算机的数据进行汇总-这将是理想的选择因为它将允许网络上的所有用户查看所有数据使用情况并立即显示谁是猪。 转到“设置”->“高级” ，然后在设置框底部的“同步”部分中选中“同步使用情况数据…” 。
Finally, you’ll need to generate a report at the end of the month to prove that you’re not the bandwidth hog. Right click on the NetWorx icon, select Usage Statistics, and then click on the Monthly Report tab. There you can see your totals for the month and export them. Click the Export button and you can export the data as an HTML, Word, or Excel document as well as plain text and a CVS file.
最后，您需要在月底生成一份报告，以证明您不是带宽消耗大户。 右键单击NetWorx图标，选择“ 使用情况统计信息” ，然后单击“ 月度报告”选项卡。 在这里，您可以查看当月的总计并导出。 单击“ 导出”按钮，您可以将数据导出为HTML，Word或Excel文档以及纯文本和CVS文件。
With your bandwidth use records in hand you can clear your good name and perhaps get your roommates to also monitor their bandwidth so that you can see where all the data is going. There is a good chance that, barring one of your roommates downloading movies hand over fist, they simply don’t realize how much modern web browsing can really suck up. Keep us updated, we hope this helps!
拥有带宽使用记录，您可以清除自己的好名声，也许可以让室友也可以监视他们的带宽，以便您可以查看所有数据的去向。 很有可能，除非您的一位室友下载拳头电影，否则他们根本不会意识到现代网络浏览真的能吸收多少。 保持最新状态，希望对您有所帮助！
