It is important to have the opportunity to control some processes of our life. It gives deeper knowing, understanding and managing them. The program Crystal Internet Meter gives you the exhaustive statistics on the Internet connection's speed and finds out exactly how much data has been transferred.

In general, this program presents an easy to use windows software for monitoring and classifying bandwidth usage. The most common usage is bandwidth usage monitoring, but you can also monitor many other aspects of your network like memory and CPU utilizations.

Crystal Internet Meter shows you a little window where the speed of your connection is presented in the real time; there is a graphic and digital indicator.

All this information lets you use Internet bandwidth at full power. Crystal Internet Meter helps to maximize your bandwidth potential by letting you see just how much of it is actually utilized at any given time. It provides you with the detailed overview on the downloaded and uploaded data of the last hours, days, weeks and so on.

There is also a special built-in meter, which monitors if specific websites are down or how long it takes to get in contact with them.

How does this program work? Crystal Internet Meter is running on your computer for 24 hours every day and constantly records the network usage parameters. The recorded data is stored in an internal database for later reference.

To understand the information that is given to you by a little graf window, you should know that the red color on the graph window represents the downloaded data, the green color represents the uploaded data and the yellow color represents a mix between the red and green colors. That means data both being sent and received.

If you are interested in a very accurate measurement of the data transfer speed to and from your computer you can chose the option "Bandwidth Stop Watch", which will provide you with comprehensive data on this point.

The option "Transfer history" gives you the information about total transferred traffic, which means the total amount of data transferred to and from your computer, then, you can check approximate average download and upload data daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.

What positively struck personally me was that having been installed Crystal Internet Meter showed the previous statistics of transferred data from and to my computer.

In this way, with Crystal Internet Meter you will receive bandwidth and network usage data that helps to optimize the efficiency of your network. Understanding bandwidth and resource consumption is the key to your better network management.
