Weed out the programs that are hogging your internet, using the latest portable tool from Nirsoft. Developer Nir Sofer already makes several programs that lift the lid on your Wi-fi. For example, there’s Wireless Network Watcher, which lists all the devices currently using it (your neighbour’s laptop, perhaps?). Networkusa­geview is only interested in software, not devices. Run the portable program as administra­tor (it doesn’t seem to work otherwise) to see a detailed list of programs and apps that are using your internet connection now (or recently). To spot bandwidth- hogs, scroll across to the Bytes Sent and Bytes Received columns, then drag the column headings to the left to make them easier to see. Right-click then select HTML Report to export the list.
