Netmonitor

Netmonitor is a lightweight software application whose purpose is to help you monitor your network traffic and get information about the total sent and received bytes. The utility can be deployed on all Windows flavors out there.
In order to open the program correctly and avoid bumping into all sorts of compatibility errors, you need to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4 on your computer.

Minimalist design

Netmonitor places a small bar on your desktop which reveals information about the current network usage data. The minimalist bar can be moved anywhere on the screen and you may reset the information with a single click.

Keep an eye on network traffic

Netmonitor gives you the possibility to check out details about the total number of sent and received bytes since the computer started. The tool also reveals the uptime, as well as maximum and minimum network usage values.
There are several configuration settings concealed under the hood for helping you select the network adapter, specify the network speed, make the minimalist panel remain on top of other programs, run the app at Windows startup, as well as set the background color.
Tests have pointed out that Netmonitor carries out a task quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you can keep it running in the background without worrying that it burdens the overall performance of the computer.

Final remarks

All things considered, Netmonitor comes packed with several handy features for helping you get at-a-glance-information about network traffic via a minimalist panel. It works fast, is user-friendly, and can be configured by rookies and professionals alike.
