chupacabra, there are many ways to measure bandwidth usage. MRTG is one of the good ones and is relatively easy to setup, you might even be able to setup it on your server if your host gives you access to the switch.
If you have your own server, you don't need access to the switch
to see how much bandwidth you're using. Try reading the file /proc/net/dev

You should see how many bytes were sent in and out on each of your network devices. You can either configure mrtg to use that info, or write your own script to do the calculations.
