What do you do with your computer? I use my computer to watch movie, listen music, blogging, surf net and some office applications. I rarely play game, long time do not play game already.

Today I’ve discovered a free online game that stimulate my interest to play some games. It’s call Gwap!

If I not mistaken, my friend asked me is there any software to monitor Internet bandwidth for a single computer?

At that time, I thought only proxy server able to do that. Hence this is not applicable for individual computer or small office. Now, I know I am wrong when I saw the bandwidth monitoring tool - Bit Meter II.

This is very useful if you are troubleshooting your Internet connection or spyware. Some 3G broadband provider limit the download size to few gigabits per month. This Bit Meter can help to monitor the broadband status well. (more…)
