vnStat
vnStat is a console-based network traffic monitor that keeps a log of hourly, daily, and monthly network traffic for the selected interface(s). It uses the network interface statistics provided by the kernel as information source. This means that vnStat won't actually be sniffing any traffic, and also ensures light use of system resources.

Changes: This release adds the ability to see hourly traffic, and now KB/s are also visible in all output. 64-bit support has been fixed, and the free disk space check should behave better.
