Need an application to show me which processes are using bandwidth

[MDesigner]

I just noticed something odd.. I'm not doing any network activity (that I'm aware of), and my DSL modem is going nuts. Apparently SOMEthing in the background is doing something I didn't approve of. Is there an application that will show me which applications are sending/receiving network packets? I'd like to find out which app is sending all this data without my approval.

Thanks!

Actually, on second thought... what would be nice is if I could get a netstat type program that shows me how much bandwidth each connection is using. I figured, maybe it's not application that's running, but someone over the net is sending me a bunch of packets or is connected to something on my machine.

thanks again.. i will now reset my router to get a new IP. I wish I could just catch the culprit now, but I don't have the software to do it and I'd rather stop whatever it is they're doing w/ my machine

Kerio Personal firewall has a list of "connected" processes, and associated bandwidth.

Use task manager dude.

Bring it up and goto View | Select Colums...

Check these additional boxes:
I/O Read Bytes, I/O Write Bytes, I/O Other Bytes

However it would be pretty hard to determine if it's disk io vs network io.

In that case use Task Manager + Drive LED + Brain.




hehe seriously - I/O other usually points to net access. If there's drive activity and network activity you can usually still sort out what's going on just by watching the numbers for a few seconds.

Sysinternals have a lot of cool utilities than can be of assistance. Have a look for TCPView and TDIMon.
