I have always wonder why my connection meter keeps running even when I just turned on the PC, without running anything else. Since I have bandwith limit, every kilobytes matters.

Thanks for the app Rarst, I’m downloading it now.

@Jim

Yeah, Skype is peer to peer so using it while paying for traffic is something I wouldn’t do at all probably.

Only downside is that limits are feature in shareware version of NetLimiter. But in some situations that might be very good investment for the long run. :)

Hi,

I don’t usually get to comment on many of your posts because I am a Mac user, but I do have some experience with this product from using a PC on the 3G network. Skype is horrible for sucking up all available bandwidth whether it needs it or not and this program is great for limiting that. Often Skype needs less than 10% of what it actually uses, so running this software can keep your costs right down if you are being charged for your bandwidth.

@Madmouse

Breakdown is especially good. Information on use totals sucks if you don’t see how it is actually used.

I have used NetLimiter in the past, it is a great little tool. As you say, precise traffic breakdown and reporting. Definitely made for a nut like me that needs his stats.

Yeah, NetLimiter is very focused on those precise traffic breakdown and reporting. Makes things visible that aren’t noticeable otherwise.

Cool app, I like the look of the program incoming outgoing stats. I currentley use networx from softperfect but it doesn’t have quite the same features.
