The old version renders the controls only in the flat-looking Windows Classic theme. Themed widgets are now supported (example screenshot on Windows XP, on Windows 7). Source code repository at GitHub (for developers): Improvements and changes Windows visual styles (themes) Old version setup program (year 2001): (32-bit installer, 0.8 MB) (The inner contents are original, but the outer EXE is packed by me.) Automatically starting NetPerSec is an excellent choice, according to my experience. So you need to manually create a shortcut in the Start menu’s “Startup” folder. The “Start with Windows” option works in Windows XP but seems to do nothing in Windows Vista/7/8 (probably due to UAC?). On the first run, it will generate the configuration file NetPerSec.ini in the same folder. You will need to put the EXE in any folder of your choice. Unlike the original version, this doesn’t one come with an installer. New standalone application program: NetPerSec-20160516.exe (Windows 32-bit EXE, 3.0 MB) Windows C++ programming still confounds me enough that there is little hope of adding or modifying any non-trivial part of the software.
#Netpersec portable update
Despite the work I contributed to this project, this is considered to be only a maintenance update to the NetPerSec application. This page features an updated version of the program by Nayuki in 2016 – the functionality is slightly improved and the source code is heavily cleaned up. The official product page is : NetPerSec (a paid download). Originally written by Mark Sweeney in year 2001, NetPerSec is distributed by PC Magazine and Ziff Davis Media.

The mini speed graph in the system tray (notification area) is especially useful for catching network problems at a glance, such as a sudden pause in data transfer. NetPerSec is a lightweight Windows application that displays the current rate of network traffic being received and sent by your computer.
