I have tried all the other net meters, and this is m favorite by far. The size and resource usage, the single EXE file, and the elegant appearance are the reason I like it. I've been using it on XP, Win7, and Vista for years, and never encountered a problem. I'm a little leery it's going open source, because you never know what you'll get. I'll give it a try, but my expectations will be low. My rating is for the pervious build.

From reading their forum, this is quite buggy. Stick with Networx. It worx :D
They instantly squash any bugs. It is the best and free.

Reviewing 1.1.4 Beta (Aug 11, 2010)
Netmeter 1.1.4, is a great tool for letting you know how much you have used. I had this meter on my last two computers. I recently got a new one, with windows 7. However i could not get it to work, i tried quite a few sites, to download it. Then i found, www.megaupload.com , for some reason, i downloaded it from this site, and it works perfect. This meter is one of the best, i am not into everything that the computer does, all ineed is the basics. And if you like both, then this is the one for you.

Huh? 1.1.4 came out nearly a year ago. Even this page says "August 9, 2009".
Anyway, best of type I'd say (free or otherwise). -

Great tool.
Only feature I would like to see (and I think DuMeter has it): averaging of the DL and UL values over a period the user can choose. Should be fairly easy to implement. -

DKDude: You can get rid of the graph by vertically downsizing the NetMeter window.
It also helps to turn off the caption bar. -

GREAT tool, but I would *LOVE* if it was possible to disable the graph, the numbers are enough for me, and a little bar would fit better on my screen.
Edit: @ manogamez
Sounds GREAT, I'll try it right now, THANKS!
Edit2: :-) It's just what I was looking for, yet again THANKS! -

Reviewing 1.1.1 (Jun 24, 2007)
Great little app. 1.1.2 is nearly perfect, everything works. You don't need to use limited dialup Internet for NetMeter to be useful. I have unlimited 5mb/s cable, and find it useful to help diagnose problems, and determine my general connection health. It's also good for estimating D/L time for large downloads.
I especially like the way NetMeter uses an INI file, making it portable. I also like the fade-in and click-through features, and the toggle up/down from the tray.
My only wishes? Issue a no-install ZIP (or even better, a RAR) version. Integrate the TLG file into the INI file, if possible. -

I've been using 0.9.9.9 b2 for years and love it. I was just hoping that he would finish off the program - and that he has now.
The transparency, always on top and click through support make this incredibly useful and not too intrusive to the workspace. The easy to read reports are also very useful. -

Having problems with the beta but I'll still rate it a 5.
In 1.0.0 I could display the current upload/download speed and totals in the graph window, but to make that work in this version I have to select 'use old display units' otherwise, the data is not displayed even when selected. Keep up the good work! Look forward to 1.1.0 gold. -

Still for power users look for Net Limiter, i think they have a free and a pro version... the pro enables you to set limits and grants on your connection, and program by program, firewall, etc. -

Spend 10 minutes playing with the options in NetMeter and you will be impressed with the results.
I've used NetMeter for about 2 or so years and it just works. I think the support is non existant and emails to the author bounce but the program doesn't really need anything else so who cares ...
With that said, anyone know how to remove/make transparent/change the colour of the NetMeter window border ? :-P -

In a word: AMAZING.
Don't waste your time reading this.. download it and try. I GUARANTEE you will love it. I'm not affiliated with this software in any way but after reading the reviews below this one and looking for a tool of just this kind and trying out NetMeeter, I'm literally blown away.
This will make you forget DUMeter ever existed. I'm serious. -

Reviewing 0.9.9.9 Beta 2 (Jul 2, 2005)
EXCELLENT.
If you have wondered if there was a freeware alternative to DU Meter, then wonder no more. This is it.
It is DU Meter and more. It has all the same features as DU Meter, all the same monitoring, all the same logging...but one thing that this has that DU Meter doesnt is complete graphical modification. You can change the colors and fonts you want. Its great.
And with the right moidifcations you can make it look exactly like DU Meter...id say it can become 99% like it....the extra 1% comes from little things that arent a big deal.
FYI: DU Meter uses Tahoma as its font :). -

Reviewing 0.9.9.9 Beta 2 (Sep 12, 2004)
Brilliant program. Free, does the job it sets out to do, loaded with features, but without being bloated - it is small on resources & fast. The only other feature I could want is an audible warning when traffic stops - would be handy to switch that on when starting a big download, then you can leave the PC & would hear when a traffic outage of more than x seconds had occured.

Amazingly good clone of DUMeter! I've tried many free/pay network speed monitors and kept going back to DUMeter because it just looked and worked the way I liked. When I first saw NetMeter, I thought it should be named "Yet Another Net Meter" but I noticed all the good reviews and ratings. There are certainly a few stupid reviewers on this site but when everybody starts saying the same thing, you know something is up. Within 5 minutes of downloading it, I was in love. Why would anyone pay for DUMeter anymore??

I just found out a feature that DUMeter can only dream of. Click-through and automatic fading with mouse-over! So now I can have NetMeter to be always on-top and it will never interfere with my applications. Most excellent! Kudos to the developer for a neat idea!

Lot of value for the money ;~) Just wondering if it will still be freeware when it 'graduates' from beta. Excellent attention to details. My wish list:
- custom graph refresh interval
- custom report interval (in addition to daily, weekly..); example: every 'x' minutes
- stealth activation: monitor without being seen (no systray icon, access to program interface through key combo and password) -

Nice, but needs work yet. Doesn't lock on to actual net speed. Also the colors get wierd after awhile. I started getting yellow color bands near the bottom, that didn't seem to be related to anything. I like that it's a resizable window.

I liked this program even when it didn't keep track of the "totals".
Now I think the only thing that the author might consider adding is an update interval setting to reduce CPU load. Granted it only uses about 1% of mine, but if it's possible to make it lower, I would consider the program to be near perfect. -

I'm very impressed with this app. I just got dsl and was gonna find a program to monitor my traffic. I wanted to find out exactly what my transfer rates were because I am paying additional for an upgraded dsl line. It shows me everything I need regarding my internet connection activity. The app is small and takes up little resources. Thanks to the author for providing it free for my use.
