DUF 1.4 Beta released.
New features:
a. No more mixed records. It splits the mixed records into
clearly billable and free records, marking them as split records.
b. The pages are saved in a cache. So you can analyze your usage straight from the cache instead of going online.
It is still in Beta stage. Please test it and send in bug reports and suggestions to make it better.
You can expect the following features in the release version:
a. Cache would be integrated, so instead of fetching all records each time, only the more recent records would be fetched.
b. Netmeter like functionality integrated right into DUF, so you can see your usage LIVE and also compare it with the stats given by BSNL.
Thanks

Original post:
I jumped onto the broadband bandwagon just a week back. Immediately it became apparent to me that the BSNL sites meant to show how much bandwidth I have used, suck.
A quick search on this and some other forums for some tools to help me revealed that not many tools are around. One name that stood out most prominently was the shaplus tool.
However, it is closed source. I must say it seems to be a very useful utility, but I gathered that people are hesitant using it for the fear of security.
I being one of them, decided to code a tool for myself which works (also looks) quite like the shaplus one. It does not have ALL the features of shaplus, but is working well for me. I have been using it for a few days now, and am releasing it in open source form.
Please check it out at http://duf.sourceforge.net
Since I have not tested it thoroughly (used it only on my machine), if you have any problems running it, please let me know.
Suggestions, criticism welcome.
Let us create a useful open source tool together (would have been unnecessary had BSNL done a decent job themselves 😉 )
