This is a great program I've used for years. It tells me if my network connection is OK, or if nothing much is happening. The activity light in the system tray is too crude to be useful. The previous version (5.2.5) ruined the "Deskband" for me. The new version (5.2.6) has restored it! Highly configurable, with many capabilities.
The publisher offers several other well-written freeware applications; the RAM Disk is especially good.
Review details
This is an outstanding traffic monitoring tool. Using the deskband option, it's easy to monitor network traffic, launch networking tools and access statistics, while taking up zero desktop space! This program is updated regularly and has never caused a problem. At this time, I would consider this a best-in-class program.

After trying many similar tools, Networx is clearly the class leader. Light on resources, both easy to use out-of-the-box and highly configurable for the geeks among us, it even has a portable version!
Review details
I've been using NetWorx for several years (the portable version); it has more than enough features for usage and reporting and an easy to customize appearance. It's a simple but complete tool for network traffic monitoring.

A great program and so easy to setup and use. Just watch the notifications, can set up some funny loops with explorer if not quite right. If you want to monitor your internet and/or LAN use this is the best I could find.
Review details
I used the program for a while now and it works exactly as promised. It's small and has very handy tools. Recently I requested a mod to the developers which they implement almost immediately. It was related to the users bandwidth usage. Now the program will monitor/synchronize all usage of all machines running Networx on a local network so the details are available to each one. Amazing and it's free !

The only problem I found is that it crashed explorer when I first ran it. Run it again and all is fine. I like the network speed gauge it has, great for testing my GB NICs and switches.
