Q: At the moment all I have winxp the status of LAN connection, which only shows how many packets are sent and received.
i kb/s.
Any to know how many free programs that do that?
THX!

if the bytes received box says 40000, what's that equal to in kbytes/sec? (want to match it with what the IE d/l box says.)
It's going to be hard to match it exactly, even when the download speed is stable.
A display of 40,000 in an interval (of 1 second) would imply 40 KBytes/sec
Short answer: 40 KB/s would be roughly right.
Long answer:
This is: 40 KB/s (or kB/s), but not kb/s
In kb/s, it would be 40 * 8 = 320 Kb/s
However, there are two other factors:
(1) Microsoft often uses K = 1024 even though in such uses, drives and networking, K = 1000 is more correct.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte
I think IE (6.0 at least) uses K = 1024.
So this would be:
Same as: 320 * 1000/1024 = 312.5 Kib/s
Same as: 312.5 / 8 = 39.063 KiB/s
(2) The pure networking monitor measures all the data going across the wire. This includes the file data data, and also data for the management of TCP/IP and FTP or HTTP, etc., which is called "overhead". The IE dialog will typically only show the actual file data transfer rate.
Let's assume that around 4% of the network data is related to overhead.
Then, the full conversion for 40,000 Bytes / sec would be:
40,000 / 1024 = 39.063 KiB/s
Removing "4%" overhead, it would be: 39.063 / 1.04 = 37.56 KiB/s
Which Microsoft might display as "KB/s" instead of the more correct KiB/s.
So 40,000 bytes/s according to Task Manager -> "38 KB/s" according to I.E.
So, "40 KB/s" would be a good rough conversion here, but if you noticed a discrepency, the above can help you understand where the differences come from.

Almost… generally b = bit, B = Byte = 8 bits, so it'd be better to capitablize it KB/sec. kb/sec can be confusing when you mean Byte, not bit.
Also, there can be minor differences with other measurements using K = 1024 instead of the normal K = 1000, and just TCP data throughput instead of including overhead, etc., but these should be small differences.
ok, i'm a little confused.

ok, i'm at networking tab.
view-> network adapter history-> turned on graph lines for bytes sent and received. but it's displaying as a % of something, not kb/s.
On that page, go into View / Select Columns, and add bytes/interval and bytes sent / interval and bytes received / interval. This is your line bytes / second (and it's easy to read KB/s or MB/s off there — just divide by 1000, etc.) Don't ever change your refresh interval in Task Manager (slow/fast/etc.) — you might not be able to get it back to the default per second if you do.
The built in Performance Monitor can of course give you that and tons and tons more. But it's a bit more complicated.
ahhh..

I will second this list! Bandwidth monitor works pretty well for this.

That's a percentage of whatever speed you are connected at. For example if it's ethernet then is % of 100 Mbs.

Re:ohh I see what you are talking about now… I have always wanted to know that too, but never seen a program that does that.. sorry
Re:no, not a speedtest.
i want to see what i'm currently doing up/down in kb/s.
ie:
when i'm watching a video on youtube, or uploading a file attachment on mail, etc
Re:you do not need a program just find a bandwidth testing site like speak easy
