After short search, I found a neat freeware tool &#8211; <span class=\"removed_link\" title=\"http:\/\/www.floriangilles.com\/software\/netspeedmonitor\">NetSpeedMonitor<\/span> &#8211; which would display a small &#8220;gadget&#8221; on the taskbar with current used throughput on selected network interface. It is quite customizable &#8211; selecting scale of measurements (bytes\/kilobytes\/kibibytes\/etc), labeling differently and adjusting the look&#8217;n&#8217;feel of the aforementioned &#8220;gadget&#8221; (I am quoting &#8220;gadget&#8221; because it is NOT regular Windows Gadget. Nor it is just system tray icon.)<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, it does not only shows the current utilization, it collects statistics on how much data you actually sent\/received on selected interface. It can monitor only one interface at the same time, but technically it is possible to switch and &#8220;monitor&#8221; any and all interfaces, as long as not several at the same time.<br \/>\nSo, I have been using it for some time and I have quite a lot of data at the moment and I was wondering &#8211; why not to put it into charts?

I was actually surprised on my &#8220;average&#8221; statistics.
