About TrafficMonitor
TrafficMonitor shows current upload and download speed, CPU and memory usage in a small floating window on the desktop, and can also place these readings on the Windows taskbar. It uses OpenHardwareMonitor code to read hardware temperatures.
The look can be changed with skins, and a plugin system lets others add new readings. It suits Windows users who want a constant, compact view of network and system load.
