Find Which Programs Are Using Your Internet Connection

Often your connection speed is slow because other programs are using it. To test if other programs are accessing the Internet without your knowing,

1. Got to Start.
2. Click Run.
3. Type "cmd" (without quotes).
4. Type "netstat -b 5 > activity.txt"

After a minute or so, hold down Ctrl and press C. This has created a file with a list of all programs using your Internet connection. Type activity.txt to open the file and view the program list. Ctrl+Alt+Delete and open up the Task Manager. Go to the process menu and delete those processes that are stealing your valuable bandwidth.

(Note: Deleting processes may cause certain programs to not function properly)

So this can be taken as improving your internet speed also.
