Check which app/programs/services using Up internet bandwidth (Using Netstat/CMD)



Some programs works in background and use internet bandwidth. For this It slow down internet speed. Today i will show you how to check which programs using  internet bandwidth  (Using Netstat/CMD) and how to close those programs. Netstat is the best and very useful command.

   * Under Active Connections, look at the PID column, and record any PID numbers that are repeated for many IP addresses. A PID with many connections may be using a lot of bandwidth.
