Monitor all and any internet traffic from my home PC - what should I use?

I'm looking for a free software show download/upload speed on system tray. I found DU Meter, but it's not free. Anybody know ?

There is a decent built-in network monitor in Windows 7 (probably Vista, too) - although it doesn't show up in the tray. Just `Ctrrl-Shift-Esc` to bring up `Windows Task Manager` and go to the 'Networking' tab. OR. Under the 'Performance' tab, click 'Resource monitor'. That brings a comprehensive aggregated view of different performance metrics of the system, including network speeds. — Cristian Diaconescu, Apr 23 '14 at 12:02

NetSpeedMonitor shows download/upload speed on system tray. It's free and lightweight.

NetSpeedMonitor is a lightweight Network Monitoring Toolbar for your Windows Taskbar designed to be used on computers that run Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista or Windows 7. With NetSpeedMonitor you can monitor the current speed (up- and downstream) of your Network Interfaces and the amount of data transferred.

I've started using this app today, and I must tell that it's become indispensable for me from now on. It's very light, and the configuration options are versatile. – Mehper C. Palavuzlar Aug 04 '11 at 19:08
Nice App but it often crashes and takes explorer.exe down with it – manubkk Oct 10 '12 at 09:13

This link doesn't show the utility anymore but I found it in [Softpedia (both x86 and x64 available)](http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-Tools/Bandwidth-Tools/NetSpeedMonitor.shtml). – cdlvcdlv Oct 03 '17 at 10:39

I currently use Networx. It's stable and non-intrusive and can show traffic in several different ways, including a variably-transparent popup window, a taskbar graph and an animated system tray icon. I've also used NetMeter.

You only can download a 30-days trial version of Networx. – cdlvcdlv Oct 03 '17 at 10:32
Yeah, that changed recently. Older versions still work fine: I'm using version 5.5.5. – boot13 Oct 03 '17 at 14:22
