Bandwidth Monitor Pro for Windows

Used Bandwidth Monitor Pro for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

This simple utility shows you how much bandwidth your network adapters are using. Upon launch, Bandwidth Monitor Pro pops up a small window showing you information regarding your average download and upload speeds, including a graph. However, we initially didn't realize you could fine-tune this program, since there are no icons in the main window. Right-clicking in the program takes you to the Settings menu, where you can perform such actions as customizing the graph and choosing what statistics you'd like to display. You also can set the utility to notify you when network traffic reaches a certain point. Though we doubt this app will suit the majority of home users, IT professionals may very well find it handy.

Cons

Summary
only installer not full dont download
Didn't work
October 25, 2013
Pros
None. Waste of time.
Cons
Monitor screen comes up, but no data after two days. Installation puts toolbar on browser, changes search engine. Provided no option to avoid this. Also put unwanted icons on desktop.
Summary
Does not work with Win 7, does not fully uninstall
tg3650October 8, 2013
Pros
Documentation is horrible. There are a couple of web sites; one refers to screens that don't exist in the current version... this is an all-around train wreck.
Cons
As others have noted, if you have Win 7 don't bother. Worse, when I uninstalled it, the Win 7 uninstaller didn't get all of it, so I now get a 'file not found' error upon logging on.
Summary
I'd pay for a decent program. This is not it.
Malware/Spyware included without asking for persmission
seraphmaielJuly 13, 2013
Pros
None to report - I do not want to use something that fills my machine with unwanted programs.
Cons
Filled with unwanted spyware/malware that self-install without letting you even have a CHANCE to say "no" to them.
Summary
A huge disappointment; CNET should warn us that there might be unwanted software BESIDES the one you came here to download. After having to install CNET's downloader, I proceeded to install the so-called Bandwidth Monitor Pro and I was NEVER prompted about the spyware and malware that it was coming with. In my case, a search bar/browser plug-in and three other crapware. My ZoneAlarm went crazy during the install, I should have trusted it and just aborted; sadly, I turned it off and now my computer will never be the same again, because who can tell with 100% certainty my spyware removal programs got everything? TL; DR: If you want to infest your PC with malware, be my guest and download this program...
didn't measure; installs claro-search
ben-cnetNovember 27, 2012
Pros
claro-search was relatively easy to uninstall
Cons
* though I opted out by unchecking the box, it set the homepage and default to claro-search * it installed 3 malware programs (claro-search, claro ADT, Browser Manager) which took me about 2 hours to delete fully* from my browsers * always displayed zero bandwidth usage (Lenovo t61p, Win7, en_US, while watching vimeo.com HD on built-in Wifi)
Summary
Very disappointed in CNET allowing this kind of malware on their site.
Would not load
Lee70043September 13, 2012
Pros
None since it didn't load
Cons
It did not load
Summary
I am running Vista, this software refused to load
Very Easy To Use
mikefrancesconiDecember 10, 2011
Pros
Detailed logging,Always control,Highly customizable,Advanced alert system
Cons
Bandwidh monitor pro does not support newer windows like windows vista,windows 7 or beyond.
Summary
Very useful to see how much bandwidth you are using.But there last update was in Jan 25, 2005,so I do not think there will be any newer updates anytime in the near future.There support e-mail does not work,because I try sending a e-mail to ask a question and that was to see if there would be any updates to support newer windows and e-mail never got to it destination,>>Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently<<
id not work
alx00subDecember 6, 2011
Pros
easy install
Cons
Showed nothing after installing! All zeros!
Summary
Does what it says
jeremyismeSeptember 1, 2011
Pros
Works well, simple interface and well worth the money (I bought it). Works fine with XP.
Cons
Doesn't work with 7 but there are alternatives for 7 anyway
Summary
Doesn't replace XP taskbar icon
ranchetteJanuary 4, 2011
Pros
I just want something for Win7 that would show wireless connection speed in the taskbar as the old Network Connections icon did in XP. This has a lot of info, but not that functionality. Still useful.
Cons
Can't be configured to imitate old Network Connections icon showing just connection speed.
Summary

Developer’s Description

Watch and log your network adapter's bandwidth usage.

Bandwidth Monitor Pro displays and logs your network adapter's bandwidth usage. It supports logging of all your network adapters at once and has a detailed transfer history. You can let Bandwidth Monitor Pro run in the background, and it will log all your incoming and outgoing traffic for you to view later in the transfer log, or in real time if you wish.

Version 1.30 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
