How do I understand what my Local Area Connection Status window is telling me?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I believe that is in Bytes. I am not on a Windows machine to check. 5,854,484B is around 5.8 MB. Which is around the size of loading ask-public 7 times (cache excluded). These numbers should be reset every-time you disconnect or reboot so it isn’t a good way of measuring your monthly usage if your ISP imposes a cap. If you want to keep a running total you will want to find something like vnstat for Windows. All those suggestions are not very good since they seem php based. I would look around for something that does it. There certainly must be something that isn’t malware.
