This is what they say :
Have you ever wondered just how fast your network connection is? Not just how fast the modem is connected at, but how much data you can actually get? Does your internet connection sometimes seem slower than normal? Forget hacking the registry or using counter-intuitive tools to get the information you want - enter the world of AnalogX NetStat Live (NSL)! NSL is a small, easy to use TCP/IP protocol monitor which can be used to see your exact throughput on both incoming and outgoing data - whether you’re using a modem, cable modem, DSL, or even local network! NSL doesn’t just stop there, it lets you see how quickly your data goes from your computer to another computer on the internet; it even will tell you how many other computers your data must go through to get there! But wait - there’s more! NSL also graphs your CPU usage of your system! This can be especially useful in identifying if your computer is what’s slowing things down, or if it’s your internet connection.
Well, its as good as it says. NetStat shows the current, average and maximum speed of your incoming and outgoing connections. It’s free and quick to download.
It even has a Tray Icon and a minimizes to tray. But the part I didn’t like was that it had to be installed. That caused an error in installation because I was not in administrator mode in this computer. And it doesn’t show your IP address if you are behind a proxy server.
It could also have been better with a stay on top option, but still it’s quite a neat little software to have around.

Tip : To install a software when not in administrator account, changing the installation directory from C:\Program files to anything else ( D:\Program files ) might work.
