Update: We have reviewed a much better bandwidth monitor, which has far more options. You can visit the article, Monitor your Bandwidth Usage with Bitmeter to learn more about it.

The last few days have been terrible with regards to access to Internet connections for me and I have been bombarded with dropped connections both at office which uses Road Runner [Time Warner] and at home where I have a wireless setup on a Comcast modem.

I tried Googling to find a proper bandwidth manager but always hit a dead end as the softwares I found were either paid or too crappy to use.

Nevertheless that search ended today when I found a worthwhile software to monitor the bandwidth usage for my computer in a app called Cyber Bandwidth Monitor.

The app is really useful and provides you with real-time download and upload speeds in graphical and numerical formats. In addition to that the software also save logs using which you can see daily, weekly and monthly usage reports.

In addition to the bandwidth monitor it also comes built in with the usual network utilities like ping and trace route.

    Currently, I’m using DU Meter’s trial version. As this is free, I’ll give it a try.

    This is a fraud. Original is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freemeter/

    please forward this information as this was distributed with a logger not so long ago, not to mention that mr. Nir Halowani violated GPL of FreeMeter project as also every other that is on speed apps (and app zilla) site… eg: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/?p=31#comments

    Yes, this program has a keylogger. Nir Halowani is a pathetic hack who has violated GPL.
