Anybody recommend a free DSL 'speedometer'?

[ahhaa]

Just wondering if I could add some free app that would tell me what speed, say, Netflix streaming was arriving at. Any recommendations/tips?

Try NetMeter. It shows upload and download speeds.
Get it here:

No installation necessary. Save the executable to a location of your choice and run it
It can sit on top of other windows and I normally park it in the bottom right of screen.
Right click the tray icon>Exit NetMeter if you wish to stop it.

Thanks Mike, just what I wanted! Out of curiosity, what dl speeds are you seeing in the UK? I'm getting a max of 200 KiB/s on streaming content, which is enough to avoid buffering delays but not enough for HD...

Sgt, you might be amused that a local illiterate neon sign maker here actually made a bar sign that read Budwizzer

Freudian slip, perhaps?

I don't use netflix.
I normally use NetMeter for monitoring uploading video/downloading video speeds on YouTube.
