Overview
DU Meter is an Internet usage monitor for your desktop computer. It shows real-time graphs and can create reports and alerts based on your downloads and uploads. Monitor your Internet connection and accurately meter network traffic with DU Meter for Windows PC. This DU Meter download is fully functional and can be used for 30 days for free. If you would like to keep it after 30 days, you will need to get a license. The app provides an accurate account of the data which is flowing through your computer's network connection. This real-time readout is presented in both numerical and graphical format.
Get a grip on your network traffic
Have you ever found yourself wondering why some downloads seem to take an eternity to complete, or why your e-mail program seems to be stuck in the middle of e-mail retrieval. Is it really hanging, or maybe it's just downloading a large e-mail attachment? The app provides the answer to these and other mysteries, and can also alert you of dangerous or unexpected network activity. Watching your data transfer rates can be very enlightening no matter what you do online, and you'll soon be wondering how you managed without the software before.
DU Meter for parents and business managers
If you have teenage children or if you own or manage a small business, you already know how hard it is to enforce certain rules for network usage, while respecting a child's or employee's privacy. If you install the tool on your child's or employee's computer, you can configure it to report back to you via email when monthly or weekly network traffic exceeds a certain threshold. The app will let you know if someone is breaking your rules (For example using peer-to-peer software to share films and music). Since DU Meter 5, the software can even prevent any further Internet connectivity once the alert condition has been met, without any user intervention.
Is your “unlimited” Internet really unlimited?
Many Internet users believe their "unlimited" account lets them surf the Internet, send large email attachments, and download as many movies and songs as they choose. However, it is well documented by the media that many Internet Service Providers, both in the U.S. and elsewhere, do in fact set definite usage limits, even though they may advertise to the contrary. Some will take drastic measures like termination of an account without any advance warning if these limits are exceeded. The app can create detailed reports of the total network traffic volume on your computer and can alert you if certain limits are surpassed. If you have teenage children or if you own or manage a business, DUMeter can be especially useful for you to you too.
