The CIS is loaded at the Windows’ startup and sits there monitoring all the connections until you turn off the computer. Why not adding an extra feature that would monitor the bandwidth usage too? Something simple like showing total download and upload amount in MB. Of course it would be nice if a user could have an option of showing the usage by day or by month and showing it in MB or GB.
I believe that a bandwidth monitor would/could be very useful for many users including users with daily and/or monthly limits and users that just want to know how much bandwidth they or their family members use. This information could be available through the Summary tab or even through its own tab. Also for a quick info the daily download/upload usage in MB could be displayed when a user would hover over the Comodo icon in systray.
I realize that there are separate programs that do that but having one program installed to do this job is better than having two. Bandwidth usage is a part of online activity so it is something that could be easily monitored by a firewall and it is relevant to its function.
Your thoughts guys.
Edit: Poll added, so please feel free to give your vote. Thanks.
Not exactly… a bandwidth monitor that gives you a general/total bandwidth usage (download/upload) for entire day/week/month. What you have there is a current traffic.
And I’m using NetWorx. The point is to have as less apps running as possible. A firewall loads when your OS is loaded and sits there monitoring everything until your computer is turned off… and above all it has to do with your network/Internet connections, so monitoring bandwidth is something that is relevant to its function.
You’re right. But how can I convert this thread to a poll?
