Nevertheless, NetBalancer can impose clear distinctions between a low, normal and high priority speed by adjusting the “level severity”, which by default is set to 50. If you know which programs should be treated with priority when using the bandwidth there is nothing complicated in assigning a higher or lower importance.
The application will also work unregistered, but a maximum of three processes/limits and rules can be enabled at a time.Īlthough the interface is nothing complicated, at a first glance it may seem exactly the opposite, with data being updated in real-time and a live graph showing the amount of network traffic used.Īnother way to quickly check on the current network usage is to run the NetBalancer Tray app, which displays the details on the taskbar in a minimized form and running the mouse over shows a more elaborate chart with the current activity.Īt a closer look you’ll notice that NetBalancer simply displays a list of all processes engaged in download/upload activities and their level of involvement expressed through number of connections and the amount of data exchanged.ĭespite the daunting look, the product is quite easy to use. It does not come free of charge, as the full-featured product is available for $49.95 / 37.95 EUR, with one year of free updates. NetBalancer has been created to help you balance the network traffic between applications by prioritizing the important ones and limiting or blocking those you deem unimportant or less entitled to your bandwidth. With so many of them bickering over who’s entitled to more bandwidth, there’s no wonder that even an activity as simple as web browsing or sending an email can be affected. More and more applications need to connect online for various purposes, ranging from storing your files offsite, synchronizing them with a different device, backing up data or updating the antivirus with new definitions.
Like it or not, we’ve reached the point where we live by the Internet.
