Non-root alternative to iftop
I like how iftop shows at a glance and in real time where my bandwidth is going. It requires root privileges, however. Is there a similar command or tool that a regular user can use to visualize bandwidth use? Say the kind of user who shouldn't be given the keys to the kingdom?

I don't know if there is another tool, but that's what sudo is for.

Measuring bandwidth requires root privileges always but actually there's two answers: use Sudo or use a tool with a separate interface (CGI?) or one that can output to say HTML: vnstat (CLI), Ntop, Trisul, bwm-ng (output) et cetera. For more choices check out Freshmeat and Sourceforge.
