Cymphonix Speed-O-Meter for Windows

Used Cymphonix Speed-O-Meter for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 7, 2008

This application displays a simple running graph of your TCP/IP speed, but doesn't allow you to freeze the graph to check specific point values. The customizable interface displays a real-time graph easy enough for novices to understand. The graph displays download and upload speeds in kilobytes per second. You can easily customize graph transparency and spike colors, but window size is locked. Some users may find the graph too small. The application's memory usage on our test system was about one-sixth of the Windows Explorer shell, which is a bit large for a monitoring application. Warning: on program start Speed-o-Meter displays a pop-up ad for the publisher. Any level of user will find this application easy to use, but the lack of a log reduces its benefit for power users.

good but sometimes in the way
Fred Clark67July 31, 2009
Pros

Cons
stays on the window and many times in the way of the content
Summary

Sparrow1094July 26, 2009
Pros
Easy to use Gives nice overview, both in text and in graph Gives three readings: gives DL = download, gives UL = upload, give MAX
Cons
No system tray function Gives in some situations error when starting
Summary
The installation was quick When started for the first time it gave error: "Error #10061" en reported an erroneously a DL speed of 33 something million Kb/s, which is about 33 GB/s. After restart of networking adapter the meter all of a sudden worked fine. Recommended. When it works, it is very useful as a replacement of DuMeter which is now paid software.
Uninstalled it as soon as I saw it

kgh120November 18, 2006
Pros
1) does what it is supposed to do (shows network graph with dl/up figures. Very simple.
Cons
1) it spams with a very annoying ad screen. <p>2) its not free (description is misleading). <p>3) its overpriced.
Summary
no free license
marialinabrazilSeptember 18, 2006
Pros
nothing, just read the License Agreement and you will see it's not a free software. I stopped setup.
Cons
This really upsets me: why does it say that it's a free license? It is free only for 30 days, later you have to pay. I have nothing against charging for a software but this makes us loose our time downloading a file we do not want to purchase later !!!
