1441197 2017-10-27 01:33:00 I use Network Activity Indicator http://www.itsamples.com/ It puts the small twin monitor screens into the system tray that used to be in Win XP.

Quote: "Network Activity Indicator displays the old 'two monitors' icon in Windows 7 that flashed blue to show network activity on the System Tray.

Unlike the original Windows XP utility, this program indicates outgoing and incoming network packets on all available interfaces."

Although it says Windows 7 it works with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 (including version 1709).


A very handy utility that tells you when there is any network traffic.

There used to be a real good program for that, but cant for the life of me remember what it was. :waughh: :confused:

BUT just found and installed www.netlimiter.com worked well.

Downloaded "something" and as you can see Internet download manager was showing as the active Program and amount. The program will show anything ( or should) as to whats downloading.
