Comcast.com and AT&T is going to start charging extra for Downloading of files,packages, video. Is there a App for Linux that will keep count of Downloads(Gbytes), like on a monthly basis, so one can keep track of size of downloads for a given month ??

/proc/net/dev tracks up/down traffic (bytes). I track my download traffic on a daily basis (Hughes Satelite) with some Perl code that is insufficiently general to warrant posting, but its available on request.

Over what time period is /proc/net/dev displaying traffic load? -- ======================================================================= You are absolute plate-glass.

iptables can be used. You can look at the count of packets/bytes that match rules. This allows you to not count local traffic if needed. Where as looking at the bytes sent out through a device would not (in cases where there is a mix of local and remote destined traffic).
You can capture, save and reset the counts from time to time to protect against losing them in a reboot or crash.

Vnstat looks pretty good, it's shame it doesn't have a Front End.
