Tracking Home Network Bandwidth

ravisunny2, on Tuesday June 10, 2008 03:56:47 PM

Hello,

Sometimes it seems like my bandwidth is bogging down, usually with speed tests I will see around 6k down and the equivalent of 50-60kB/s upload.

I am on a home network and I wanted to know if there was a way I could check to see where the bandwidth is being used and how much to track down the problem? Is there a way to do this without seeing if anyone is downloading something? Usually thats not the case, it seems as though it could be perhaps that something is downloading in the background almost but even that I doubt.

So any way to do this?

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0
