Bitmeter 2 is a bandwidth measurement and Internet connection speed

monitoring utility that lets you visually monitor the Internet connection by

displaying a real-time floating scrolling graph on the desktop which shows your

upload and download speed over a period of time. It keeps all information about

how much you have uploaded and downloaded since you started using Bitmeter. It

also provides an option to back up all data and traffic history.

Bitmeter comes with a Web interface through which you can remotely monitor

your connection speed remotely through a Web browser. Another interesting

feature Bitmeter has is ISP restriction, which can be useful if you have data

download and upload restrictions from your ISP. This feature can be used to

ensure that you do not exceed your monthly limit or alert you when you near your

monthly quota. It can be configured to monitor total or download only traffic. A

calculator is present to help you find out how long it takes to download or

upload something or how much you can download or upload in a given time. You can

configure Bitmeter to alert you through sound and message notifications as and

when a certain event occurs.

Installing and using Bitmeter is simple. It requires Microsoft .NET framework

1.1 or later to be already installed.

When Bitmeter is run, it keeps a float window on the desktop, which shows

live graphs and details of data being downloaded as well as uploaded. To enable

Bitmeter's Web interface, go to Settings from Bitmeter's system tray. In the

new window, select 'Web Server' and provide the IP



address for the Web server and other information. Now click on OK.

Bitmeter provides details of data downloaded/uploaded; you can even set ISP restrictions and alerts

Now open the Web browser and see bandwidth statistics from anywhere on the

network. To see a summary of the network activity, go to Statistics Grid. Here

you can get all historical details of data downloaded as well as uploaded on

hourly, daily or monthly basis. All this helps you calculate whether your ISP

bils you right.
