Reviewed by: CNET Staff
It's not going to win any design awards, but this handy program for monitoring your PC's bandwidth usage offers a nice set of features. BitMeter's floating graph with simple text displays for real-time downloads and uploads is easy to follow. You can customize the display's color and transparency.
Considering its size, BitMeter provides an impressive amount of options and information. You can view summaries of network activity with hourly, daily, and monthly breakdowns, or receive audio notifications that can be set by transfer size and direction. The built-in calculator is useful for computing the speed and size of download and upload activities. You can create automatic or manual backups of the program to easily restore history and settings, and there's an ISP Restrictions configuration panel that can configured with a minimum of hassle.
This freebie is easy enough for any user looking for a simple and effective tool for monitoring network activity.

Version: BitMeter 3.5
Pros: Perfect? that is a big thing to say about a pice of software, but i do belive that this program is very close to such. Ive been lookin for something like this for a very long time, when i was unable to find anything i started to use "Wigets" bad idea, those programs are written very poorly, unlike this software, it has good code that dont eat up RAM. One of the biggest perks to this software is that it keeps a record of your activety over a year period, broken down into hours, days, weeks, and months. It gives you a dayly summery of how much information has been sent and receivd. It also has aduio notifications if a limit has been reached (wich you make) so if it downloads/uploads too much to fast or too little to slow it lets you know. It can also caculate download times by the speed of your connection. There is so much more, but you should download it and see :)
Cons: The only problem that i have really come across is that the icon in the task tray is not all that informative and there is no "always on top" setting (at least that i have found) other than that this software is really simple to use and gets the job done with a little extra.

Version: BitMeter 3.5
Pros: A very simple widget-like program that monitors internet activity both incoming and outgoing, among other things. Of course these functions aren't anything new, but BitMeter does a very good job turning that data into minimalistic eye candy.
Cons: Nothing - does basic stat graphing and it does the job well
