Bandwidth meter

[crass]

Hi All

I'm looking for an application that will measure my bandwidth consumption and also (if possible) give me an indication of what apps/ports are been used and how much data each app/port is using.

Thanks

Only 2 i've found that can do that [that are easy to use too] :

Netlimiter 2 Pro : http://www.netlimiter.com/ -> Example : http://www.netlimiter.com/img/scrshots/nl2shot_stats.png


Cfosspeed : http://www.cfos.de/speed/cfosspeed_e.htm -> Example : http://www.cfos.de/speed/documentation/graph_e.htm

(the example screenshots above says it all , really..you decide )

None of them are free, but they're not expensive , $20-$30 .

The other catch is, Netlimiter 2 is not "officially" compatible with Windows 7 [but you can bypass it] and Netlimiter 3 Beta does not yet have the Stats Module active [i expect it will happen in the next month..i hope].

Both have other functions [Shaping / Limiting per port/app] ...i prefer Netlimiter's stats module.....lots of details right down to the "usage per hour for a specific application"

Cfosspeed is great if you want to monitor PORTS and PROTOCOLS [i.e. P2P/HTTP/FTP/VOIP ] . Netlimiter is better for APPLICATIONS. [imho]

If you're not using Windows 7, then you can use the NetLimiter 2 Monitor, which is free.

Here's another thread where a few other network monitoring utilities was mentioned: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?202445-Bandwidth-Monitoring-Tool
