BWMeter is a powerful bandwidth meter and monitor which measures and displays all traffic on your network. It can analyze the data packets (where they come from, where they go, which port and protocol they use). This makes it possible to distinguish between local and internet traffic for example. It can create statistics for all computers in your network, measuring and displaying all internal network traffic as well as download and upload from the internet. You can even define filters which show your transfer with certain Internet addresses. It is ideal for home users to get an overview of how much bandwidth they use, as well as small to large businesses, where one computer can maintain the statistics of downloaded / uploaded data of all computers in the network. The product is easy to configure and offers a rich set of options and features for beginners as well as experts and network administrators.
Reviewing 5.1.1 (Aug 14, 2009)
At first when I had seen the firewall policy, I was unhappy with another application trying to do everything to keep people to upgrade. After taking a look at it, it was a bit different as Cookie28 has noted. Basically provide access or not...but I don't want to see it try to turn into a full fledged firewall.
Yes, some may not realize, but some vendors' policy is to pay for upgrades for major revisions and DeskSoft is one. If I recall, i think I upgraded to their lifetime free upgrade promotion when it was available.
And why should you *not* have to reboot after installing this? Did you write the application, or do you not have to reboot after installing drivers on your system (which this does)?

Trouble installing. I should not have to reboot my computer to install the program. Will probably want a reboot once its installed also.
Disgraceful upgrade police - 30 days only.
Reviewing 5.0.2 (Jul 16, 2009)
v5 now even works as a firewall! And it seems smarter than the other solutions, because it just asks once per program if you want to let it access the internet or not - that's exactly how I want it.
