  How does it “free up your bandwidth”?
  • graylien 8y ago
    looks like you can find out and monitor those apps that consume the most
  • mariedm 8y ago
    By seeing which apps consume the most network, you can choose to close some of them. For example, if you see that Dropbox is currently receiving 5MB of data, maybe it can wait for later. Close it for now to free up your bandwidth.

  I hate to see it is a paid app. things like this need to be open source and free.
  • mariedm 8y ago
    If you need it $4 is not that expensive.

    Yeah, because as we all know software developers eat gratitude and live inside of their computer towers. ;)

  iStat Menus (https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/ https://bjango.com/mac/istatmenus/) has this same functionality (and much more). It's a bit more expensive though. It's quite nice to be able to check if some app is downloading an update in the background and throttling my already precariously slow internet connection.
