Try installing the tiny utility "bwm"
>From apt-cache show bwm:

Description: BandWidth Monitor
 This is a very tiny bandwidth monitor (not X11). Can monitor up to 16
 interfaces in the in the same time, and shows totals too.

It's in the universe repository. Just type bwm to run it, ctrl-c to stop it... It outputs a nice little table of your connections etc
