Best free network bandwidth monitoring software?

[juliagreen]

best free network bandwidth monitoring software. Dear friends, I am the system amdinistrator in my company, last few weeks our internet speed is very low and find out some users are using torrent download and that reduces our bandwidth speed. Is there any software or method so that I can monitor which of the users in my company consuming more internet and downloads?

juliagreen, Scrutinizer Netflow analyzer will allow you to do this.

You can get this from here:

If your switch, firewall or router supports netflow, You can use Scrutinizer to identify the top users and protocols on your network.
The free version will give you all the functionality you are asking for.

Hope this helps!
