My problem is that my ADSL utilisation has doubled without any change in my PC utilisation behaviour.
I don't notice any large emails (incl attachments).
I dont download a lot.
the 'HOURLY UTILISATION' report is probably the closest I can get to my problem.
however could there be a log file showing internet (iexplorer) sites visited:
say date
time
site
upload/download volumes
I suspect some of my software is automatically accessing internet
eg. norton
automatic updates etc....
regards

I don't know what happened here, in my opinion SoftPerfect is still one of the few developers with excellent support.
Just too bad to see that a good product like BWM is on hold. Oh well. I will keep monitor these forums for a while.
Cheers,
Arthur.

But the development is stopped in time. At least it would be great if we had any news from the developer. "New versions only in june of 2011"... or "The software will be discontinued"... anyway, one notice to stop or remain expectations. After all, there was an expectation that there would be an upgrade later this year.
Andrew has always given great support to the BMW. He only does not like to talk much about the development of new versions.
I hope Andrew does not see our posts as a form of pressure. It is only concerned about the future of software.
Cheers

I like to send a welcome email to the users. It serves several purposes including telling them the IP address ( url) of the site to check their use, welcomes them, and I re-iterate the terms and conditions of use.
The way I do it now is create an introduction email message.
Then I uncheck the other email messages under the "User information" field of the appropriate rule, change the speed and it is sent. Then I have to go back to the user information, uncheck the intro message and check the Quota used, Quota reset etc emails in the rule.
It would be really nice if there was a way to click a button that just sent a specified email ( or more than one) to that user as one click.

Hi guys, thank for all these comments. Let me reassure you that I myself and BWM are alive and well smiling smiley I have collected most of your wishes, and I said earlier I am working on BWM 3.0. It's not a trivial task and it's very time consuming, yet I am hoping to roll out this release in the second half of 2010.
In the meantime, if you would like to, please test the latest beta, which I have just published. Many pieces from it are being moved to the version 3.0 codebase.
Thank you again for being loyal and helpful users and I hope not to disappoint you after all
Despite having promised the BWM 3 in 2010. I believe that Andrew is working hard to deliver this product yet this year. I Believe!

I'd love Global Quotas or baring that, some way to see data transfer for each IP/Mac Address that in rule set.
I'd still like Global Quotas particularly so I can restrict the data transfer done by one machine, but who's data I still want to count with several others. (IE: One Quota, many rules).
Ability to clear ALL rule stats with one push (by menu/button or even better timer). Currently the automatic only clears history data and quota. It doesn't clear the sent/received data shown in the general tab (This would make all the rules look like they where just created - no stats recorded)
On topic of history data, a bit more control of this would be good. For example, I have two internet services, both reset dates are different.
My cable resets on the 1st, so keep current month option works fine. However my ADSL resets on the 17th, so none of the history options works for just giving me history from the 17th to the 17th.
and finally, I was reading through the last released API documentation (working on a creating a web usage system for my home network) and noticed there is no ability to grab a listing from a IP/MAC group and no way to edit or delete a entry from a selected group.

You can set up independent rules for each client with a quota on one network card, then setup a catch all filter on the second network card with a catch all quota.
These quota's can be different for the catch all and the individual rules.
I'm not entirely sure about bridging, but if you're routing on the BWM server then you can already double up quotas as above.

Then on the WAN Interface (Internet side), you can have one rule, using an address range in the from field, to cover all the client IP's I want to cover, and another quota called for example 50GB that's applied to that one rule on the WAN Interface only.
So each user still has an individual rule and quota of 5GB on the LAN side, but "all" clients flow through the one rule on the WAN Interface that has a quota of 50GB max regardless of the 5GB quota.
This would allow a client to use up to 5GB before their speed or whatever is changed, but if the 50GB rule is meet first, then that is imposed on all users regardless of their 5GB quota.
It's double packet processing, but it works in that way quite well.
I have an external router, so the BWM machine is a simple IP router without NAT (IP Forwarding enabled in the registry and static routes on ym external router for the different Internal subnets). LAN clients are 192.168.5.X, and the WAN side is 192.168.4.X. So there's individual rules on the 192.168.5.X interface, and one rule on the 192.168.4.X Interface. The one rule in my case, stops congesting the router from all clients, so I have bandwidth left over even when all clients are busy. But each client has it's own further quota. This does mean though, that when the global quota is reached, some users may not have used their individual quota up and will be speed restricted by the global quota.

Is a bit messy but since global quotas don't exist, this method works.
I just had speed rules on the LAN side, the WAN rules have a qouta and unlocked speed. Works for me to split 1000gb quota between three groups (my brother and his wife, myself and another person that lives here)
