Bandwidth Monitor

[mechi]

I sometimes connect to the internet with broadband and I need to keep track of how much bandwidth I use but I can't seem to find any way to do that in Mint 18.1 xfce. Would anyone know? I'm not yet familiar with using the terminal so if there is a simple way of checking bandwidth use that would be great.

There is a command line tool called iptraf-ng.
I know everyone wants GUI tools, but often CLI tools are easier to find.
