Everyone has waited for a Web page to load, even with a broadband connection, and wondered if something was wrong with their Internet connection. This download will tell you exactly what's happening, monitoring how fast your connection is operating in real time, and producing an elegant graph displaying average speed, total amount of data download and uploaded, and other statistics over a daily or monthly time period. It allows a user to set a daily limit on the amount of uploads or downloads, and includes a separate tool for logging traffic to a Web site. The utility takes up a fairly large amount of system memory while running in the background, but its simple interface gives us confidence in recommending it even to ordinary home computer users.

Looks and feels a lot like DU Meter, but lacks a lot of features DU Meter has.
CableguyTKJanuary 24, 2006
Pros
It looks and feels a lot like DU Meter. <p>Lets you show the graph as a bar OR line graph (line by default). DU meter only shows the graph as a bar graph. <p>Has a lot of the same features as DU Meter: Download/Upload timer, download/upload stats for the day/month/since install, customization of the colors of the Download and Upload lines, a flashing system tray icon, flashing the color arrow of the direction of traffic, quota settings with alarms, autoscaling graph. <p>Has some features DU Meter doesn't have: change the update speed of the graph, a graph in the stats showing the trends of uploads and downloads, skinning (which is built into the program, nothing downloadable to my knowledge), web stats...it lets you create a webserver for your stats and watch them remotely. <p>Its $5 cheaper than DU Meter.
Cons
Its not free, but it is $5 cheaper than DU Meter. <p>It lacks a lot of features of DU Meter that I'm sure all users of DU Meter take for granted: close to tray (ByteOMeter has no minimize button just like DU Meter and it closes when you click the X button...and there is no options to change the behavior), vertical grid lines, maximum or average value display, track weekly download/upload stats, transparency (and all those programs which give programs transparency don't work with this program), and a lot of appearance options (like bits versus bytes on the graph for one).
