Bandwidth & traffic monitoring tool for Windows
NetWorx is a simple and free, yet powerful tool that helps you objectively evaluate your bandwidth situation. You can use it to collect bandwidth usage data and measure the speed of your Internet or any other network connection.NetWorx can help you identify possible sources of network problems, ensure that you do not exceed the bandwidth limits specified by your ISP, or track down suspicious network activity characteristic of Trojan horses and hacker attacks.
NetWorx allows you to monitor all your network connections or a specific network connection (such as Ethernet or PPP) only. The software also features a system of highly customizable visual and sound alerts.You can set it up to alert you when the network connection is down or when some suspicious activity, such as unusually heavy data flow, occurs.NetWorx can also automatically disconnect all dialup connections and shut down the system. NetWorx's incoming and outgoing traffic is represented on a line chart and logged to a file, so that you can always view statistics about your daily, weekly and monthly bandwidth usage and dialup duration.

Unable to download files after install.
I installed Networx on my laptop and set it up so that it only tracks wifi usage when I am connected to a specific router only. I thought this was a great feature as it allows to only track the usage on my home internet. But once I set this up, I start having problems download files on IE9. The download would stall after a few seconds. This is especially bad when the download is fast. Also when I watch videos on youtube, the video would randomly stall in the middle. At first I thought it was a problem with IE9. But after trying all the solutions for fixing IE9 I could find online, the download problem was still there. So I was down to the last thing I haven't tried yet - uninstalling networx, before I would restore my system from a backup. I didn't expect it to work. But as soon as I removed networx, I was able to download entire files again. So unfortunately this is a case of a great idea executed badly.
Pros:
Nice interface and features.
Cons:
It jams up your internet. More

This is a freeware.
Softonic incorrectly says its license is "Evaluation", but it's actually a freeware, see their website for more details.I was a longtime "NetMeter" user but recently decided to switch to NetWorx, NetWorx has all everything NetMeters (including the Click-though feature), but NetMeter does not work with Windows 7 (64-bit), while NetWorx does.
Pros:
Pretty looking, many features. More
