NetBalancer is an internet traffic control and monitoring tool designed for Windows XP/2003/Vista/Win7 (except Vista/Win7 x64 - they will be supported in a next version).

You can use NetBalancer to set download/upload transfer rate priority for any applications and monitor their internet traffic.

Applications with a higher network priority will gain more traffic bandwidth than those with a lower one.

The most important features of NetBalancer are:

* Set download and upload network priority for any process. Currently supported priorities are:
o High priority
o Normal priority
o Low priority
o Block traffic
o Ignore traffic
o Limit traffic
* Set download and upload speed limits for a process
* Show all system processes with their in and out network traffic speed
* Show current connection for any process
* Show downloaded and uploaded traffic for any process since NetBlancer's start
* View overall system traffic as a graph
* Show last 15 seconds traffic in system tray
* Fine tune priorities (see Level Severity setting).


The main difference between NetBalancer and other traffic shaping software is that NetBalancer works with priorities, so applications with low priority won't be limited if other high priority applications don't use network.

*The Free version is limited to 5 process priorities/limits at a time

NetBalancer 3.2 Free - Update

Yes, we know - the "Unsigned Driver Installation" warning was annoying you quite a lot, so we've fixed it at last!
Also we've added that new feature you were asking about for some time, to stop the balancing service from tray menu.

Unfortunately some bugs were killed in the process. C'est la vie, we'll miss them, just a little...

Und der magere Support könnte daran liegen das kaum noch jemand ne Internet Wählverbindung benutzt.

Thank you very much for this information, according to the log you
sent me right now it seems that the open source library PacketDotNet
we use doesn't have an implementation of a particular network packet
type and NetBalancer crashes when receives such packet.

I made a quick fix (reverted back to our own old packet inspector)
located here -Edit: Link entfernt -
so you can use NetBalancer on your computer until we release a tested
update on the website.

Thanks again for your report, your effort helped me a lot to locate
the problem and please feel free to report any further problems,
especially pay attention to the CPU use of NetBalancer, my fix may
affected it.

30 December 2011: NetBalancer Pro/Free 4.8 - Major Update

In this last release of this year we've improved the traffic chart, making it a much more powerful tool:
1. Now it honestly shows you the traffic statistics for the selected time range, when you ask.
2. Instantly gives you traffic details for any time moment, on mouse hover over.
3. Precisely selects and shows up to 1000 seconds/minutes/hours or days of traffic history, at your desire.
4. Abruptly deletes all the traffic history, when you mistakenly decide to
