For a while, i've been using Rainmeter to display CPU/RAM and In/Out network speeds.
Just the other day, I reinstalled windows, and with this fresh start, I'd like to keep track of how much I've downloaded/uploaded total.
My problem is, Rainmter only keeps track of traffic in RAM, and writes it to the .ini when it shuts down ... and only if it shuts down properly. That means that if ever my computer crashes (or even if Windows shuts it down improperly while shutting down itself for reboot) the measure of how much was up/downloaded is lost -- this could mean potentially tens of gigs gone from record.
SysMetrix, as another possibility, only keeps track of network transfer totals during the current boot session. It doesn't save to .ini or any other permanent location. As soon as you reboot, it resets itself.
I'm not sure about Samurize, and I tend to be picky about what software I install on a brand new WIndows install. So opinions would be nice about this program.
So ... whatcha guys think? Any ideas or suggestions?
