NetWorx is a simple and free, yet powerful tool that helps you objectively evaluate your bandwidth situation. You can use it to collect bandwidth usage data and measure the speed of your Internet or any other network connection. It can help you identify possible sources of network problems, ensure that you don't exceed the bandwidth limits specified by your ISP, or track down suspicious network activity characteristic of Trojan horses and hacker attacks. The program allows you to monitor all your network connections or a specific network connection (such as Ethernet or PPP) only.

The software also features a system of highly customizable visual and sound alerts. You can set it up to alert you when the network connection is down or when some suspicious activity, such as unusually heavy data flow, occurs. It can also automatically disconnect all dialup connections and shut down the system. The incoming and outgoing traffic is represented on a line chart and logged to a file, so that you can always view statistics about your daily, weekly and monthly bandwidth usage and dialup duration. The reports can be exported to a variety of formats, such as HTML, MS Word and Excel, for further analysis.

    Ver 5.0 is now out.
    It is is getting Much Better.
    I may even use it in all my PCs in the near future (instead of DU Meter 4.01).

    I was a paying customer of DU Meter a while ago. The programs evolved in complexity over the time. I never upgraded DU Meter to the latest versions.

    Suddenly I came across this little gem and found it to be a great replacement for it. It gets you the information you need in an easy way.

    4 because it's free, protable, do the work, and has some additional functions.
    not 5 because there is no click though and update frequency parameter.

    Good to see something else than NetMeter.
