BitMeter 2 is a bandwidth meter, it allows you to visually monitor your internet connection by displaying a scrolling graph that shows your upload and download speed over time. BitMeter is freeware – ie. it is given away completely free of charge, there is no trial period, no time-limited features, no spyware, and no adware, guaranteed.
BitMeter main window This is what BitMeter looks like. The different colours on the graph represent your upload and download speeds, the display updates every second, and the current speeds are also displayed numerically in the lower part of the window.
If you want to see historical data you can use the Statistics window to see what’s been going on over the last few hours, days or weeks.
The data shown in each of the graphs is also available numerically, and can be exported to a spreadsheet for detailed analysis.
As well as keeping a record of your connection usage, BitMeter has a lot of other handy features – for example a web interface:
Using the Alerts feature, BitMeter can notify you when you have uploaded/downloaded a certain amount, or if your speed goes above or below any limit that you specify.
Does your ISP restrict how much you can download each month? Maybe the ISP Restrictions screen would be useful, just enter details of your monthly quota, and BitMeter will warn you when you approach your limit.
BitMeter also includes an on-screen Stopwatch, which can be configured to display all sorts of information such as upload and download totals, and average, maximum and minimum speeds.
There is also a handy calculator for working out how long a download will take, or how much you can transfer in a given time.
The BitMeter graph can be set to ‘float’ so that it never gets lost behind other windows, and can also be made partially transparent. It also has a Click-Through mode, ensuring that it never gets in your way – you can access other windows underneath BitMeter by just clicking straight through the graph.
The InfoPane feature creates a small window that hovers by your mouse pointer showing exactly what speed each point on the graph represents:
BitMeter has now been translated into the following languages by members of the user community: Czech, Danish, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Traditional Chinese, Arabic, Simplified Chinese, Swedish, Dutch, Slovak and French.
BitMeter has many other features, some of which are listed below – the Settings screen alone has more than 80 different options for you to choose from, and there is also a comprehensive 36-page help file to guide you through it all.
