Hello guys,
As the title says, I'm looking for a monitoring/accelerator software to monitor my download and upload speed and show the info with diagrams on a window on my desktop real time.
A free program and also something that has options for modifying and accelerating my bandwidth and ping is my priority.

Do you guys know any program with such abilities and options other than CfosSpeed?

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks in advance.

If you want good packages for all of those things ipfire is great or even ipfire on the edge with pfsense below.

ipfire runs fq_codel which will do traffic shaping. You can run iftop to see realtime data. It has some graphs built in for data over time and ping results to the next gateway. It has an easy to config squid proxy. fq_codel is the best QoS Qdisc that was built around keeping pings low on small flows.

pfsense has ntopng, which is very detailed, and pfsense does vlan/trunks a lot better than ipfire.

You can also run SNMP and send data to another pc and there is a lot of nice software for that.

both run well in KVM and anything less than $300 doesn't really come close.
If you only care about latency the edge router x is...

Sorry, my mistake. I mean something that accelerate my download speed by applying some settings on my connection and things like that. there was such option on cfos, so thought maybe there's also on the similar programs. though as I mentioned it's not my priority.

There is no magic program that can do this. The only device that has that information is the router and consumer routers do not give you that ability.

The program you link is almost laughable. It in effect makes your computer into a router and all the wifi traffic passes through it. So you have now made your expensive computer into a stupid wifi router than can run traffic reporting. If you do anything even slightly intensive on the machine it will disrupt the traffic flowing through it.

Maybe if you have the proper router you could load third party firmware, it depends on what types of data you want.

Now if you want to dedicate a pc for this purpose you can load pfsense onto a machine and get a huge number of features like these for free. It still will not solve the fundamental issue that the only real fix for a overloaded internet connection is to buy more bandwidth from the ISP.

If you only care about latency the edge router x is $50 and runs fq_codel.
You won't be able to run other services off that. It's also capped @ 100Mbs.
