Is there any way to monitor one individual computer's download and upload?
I'm having some crazy downloads on my router, literally like over 31000GB in the past 2 months apparently, and some really absurd lag issues in games. Is there a program I can download on each individual computer in the house to see how much the individual computer is downloading and/or uploading and try something like an OS install. I'd go through the antivirus option but this is just what I'd rather do. Does anyone have any software for this?

i had a similar issue last year and it turned out that someone had hacked my wifi and was piggybacking from nearby. got me an riaa notice too!! anyway upgraded the router and security and problem went away.

the router was a nice d-link gaming router that let me monitor/control everything that accessed it. including time limits, bandwidth, programs and all kinds of other measures that went through the router.

you can go with the program to monitor each pc or a router upgrade will do this. each should allow for control measures to be put in place once you figure out what's eating all the bytes.

Hi
You could try NZXT CAM on each computer as one of its features is to monitor net activity and you would be able to monitor them all from one computer.

I'm with Virgin Media and it just appears to tell me the total session data downloaded, do you know how to get any deeper?
