Some Internet users pay for traffic rather than time they spend surfing the net. There are usually two rates for domestic traffic (websites within one's country) and foreign traffic (everything else). Sometimes domestic traffic is unlimited, while foreign traffic rates are very high. To learn how much you spend on both types of traffic use CostAware.
     CostAware is a network tool that works under Windows 2000/XP and shows you the amount of traffic you have used in real time so you don't have to wait in horror for monthly ISP fees. You can choose from several countries to determine domestic traffic (not many countries to choose from, alas) and there you go! - you've got another resident program that requires a bit of space in the system tray in exchange of traffic counting.
     The tool is free and will come handy to anyone who's concerned about how much they spend on the Internet or, rather, how much they download from the net. Try it today and see for yourself.
