BitTally

Note: The application is discontinued so it will not receive any further updates. However, you can still download the last released version from Softpedia and use it with the limitations listed on this page.

BitTally is a networking application developed to provide users with a simple means of monitoring their network and generating reports about protocols, countries, and others.

The installation process does not last long and does not offer to download any kind of third-party product. When you are done with it, you come face to face with a minimal and simple-to-handle interface, as it opens in a new tab in your default browser, and presents a navigation panel on a side to help you access all available options with great ease. Consequently, all types of users can find their way around it, regardless of their previous experience with the IT world.

This tool displays your Internet traffic in real-time as a graph, and enables you to track usage of protocols such as FTP, HTTP, SMTP, SSL, BOOTP, a few games (e.g. Half-Life, Halo, Hero, Age of Conan etc.) and apps (e.g. BitTorrent, Gnutella, FileGuri, Soul Seek, BearShare etc.), and uses a color-coding system to enhance ease of use.

Aside from that, you can view the number of bytes per second used, TCP session peak, UDP session active, non-IP packets recognized and domain entries, and the list goes on. You can look up any domain, so as to find out information pertaining to it, such as country, category, IP address and rating, while you can also view server details and bring up logs.

Statistics can be generated according to a pretty large number of factors, such as user, protocol, domain, country, network, average daily load and category usage. Moreover, you can configure information pertaining to the user, network, domain category and triggers, and so on.

To sum up, BitTally is a tiny, yet complex piece of software, when it comes to monitoring the network traffic and tweaking setting regarding it. CPU and memory usage is minimal and therefore, the computer’s performance is not going to be hampered. All tasks are performed quite fast, the interface is suitable to all types of users, and there are sufficient options to keep you busy for quite a while.
