It would be great if you could include an option to automatically clear stats X amount of days or every month or something. Reason for my request is my ISP limits 250 gigs a month of bandwidth usage. It would be great to be able to keep track of how much usenet usage I use throughout the month just to get an idea. I realize there are 3rd party tools meant for this, but I really just need a general idea. I constantly forget to reset it after the next month starts to resulting in inaccurate tracking.

If you are on a capped line, what you should be looking at is a system-wide network traffic monitor program, not just for usenet
my personal prefferance is 'DUMeter' http://www.dumeter.com/
there's also 'BWMeter' http://www.desksoft.com/BWMeter.htm
or a free clone http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/mydumeter.aspx
or http://www.rokario.com/products/bandmon/2-0/
there's many many more that do just that.

Well I can check my total usage on my firewall (pfsense) via web interface. The thing is other traffic accounts for less then 10 gigs a month and where I am already watching alt.binz most of the time it would be great to just get a quick look at my usenet usage. I guess if no one else thinks they would benefit from this feature its not that important, but figured I would through the idea out there...

Well, others are interested, because this - or variations of it - has been requested before. Here, for example:

Others have also asked for different kinds of output, and finer-grained stats per server, etc. Basically, expanded stats info & control. ;)
