Net Meter review

Our recommended download this week, however, has to be Net Meter.

This Vista-friendly package monitors all traffic through all network connections on the chosen computer, displaying a real-time graphical and numerical histogram-style representation of download and upload speeds.

It will let you monitor everything at once, or just a single LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi or VPN connection if you prefer.

Traffic counts can be logged and viewed as daily, weekly, monthly or yearly totals, and there's a handy stopwatch feature that gives a temporary data volume and rate count.

Net Meter will even notify you if you exceed a total amount of bandwidth usage, perfect for those capped broadband accounts.

There's hardly any system resource impact, it's as stable as a building with horses in, looks good and performs even better.
