What am I reading wrong?
(For simplicity I'm reporting 1B as 10b (one byte as 10 bits). These numbers are off by so much that this shouldn't matter)
- NetBalancer shows about 20 KB/s or 200 Kb/s or about .2 Mb/s
- ResMon shows 10 Mb/s
- Process Explorer (Sys Info) shows about 4.4 MB/s (or about 40 Mb/s
Screenshots below.
Am I missing something?
(And yes, I have accounted for the fact that NetBalancer reports in Bytes and RM reports in Bits/second)

Did you run them all "as administrator"? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-01-08T16:11:31.377
One hypothesis I can make is that some of these programs do not account for ALL of the traffic. Another would be that some take a lot longer than others to calculate over an average that stretches longer in time. So let's say that you downloaded a 10 MB file over one second. 10 MB/s for 1 sec. Yeah that's a fast connection. Anyway. Well program A could be using 0.25 sec to do its average, and so will display something pretty accurate. Program B, to be more stable over spikes and valleys, would use 2 seconds. It would come with the disadvantage of "smoothing" and flattening shorter transfers. – Ariane – 2014-01-08T16:14:33.393
