    Jamie, you may get a better answer from the apache mailing list
    (apache.org).

    Anyway, I had to do something similar a few years ago and what I did was
    make a custom logging format and included information to log the bytes
    transferred. From there it's just writing a perl or shell script to total
    up bytes transferred for each of the users you have.

    I just looked at the apache docs and it looks like you can use

    %b (uses a "0" when no bytes are sent)
    or
    %B (uses a "-" when no bytes are sent)

    to log transfer sizes in your access_log

    Hope that at least points you in the right direction

    Cheers -
    Ben Y.

    Hi everyone...

    I've been struggling to come to a conclusion for this problem I need to
    solve, and would appreciate all help i can get.

    This may be an apache specific problem, but I'm not convinced. I have
    a website that I have registered members on. I want to offer them a
    directory each (To them it will just be a place they can keep files),
    but I need to monitor the amount of bandwidth that each of these
    members uses. E.g. Paul registers, uploads some files to his
    directory, and it's 1mb. 5 people download it. Therefore 5mb
    bandwidth was used...I need to know this. e.g. If someone starts a
    download, and then cancels it after 100k, I need to know they didn't
    download it all...so a per click basis won't work.

    A kick in the right direction would be very useful too. I've been
    trawling through irrelevant sites looking for info, and have hit a nil.

    THanks in advance.
    Jamie
