AnalogX makes some pretty cool freeware and posts them on his site at AnalogX.com . One of my favorites is the Internet Traffic Report Client . ITRC provides very interesting data and is a fun little toy for any networking geek to play with. More info from the website here:

  How many times has your Internet connection been sluggish, and you wondered if it was your provider or something larger happening. That problem is what spawned the Internet Traffic Report (ITR), which has been actively tracking trends on the net since the mid to late 90’s. Wouldn’t it be handy to have a quick way to use the same suite of tools the ITR utilizes to generate it’s reports? That’s what this program is all about…
    AnalogX ITR Client is a GUI tool which gives you quick access to all the normal tools used to diagnose network problems, from ping to trace route. But ITRC takes it one step further, giving clean graphical displays of the data as well as additional information to help you track down and identify where problems originate. Best of all, ITRC runs in the system tray, and displays the current ITR performance rating for either the entire Internet, or any of the other regions it tracks.
