Well IF your download was utilising the FULL 3M of your connection that would only be 3% of your cards 100M connection. As you can imagine, your download will not saturate the link and there is other network traffic and overhead so I would not expect to see much more than 1%<br />

Ok, it is acceptable.<br />
<br />
So, the utilization percentage is based on the ACTUAL connection speed at the time of downloading -- not on the nic (1,000) on the pc, nor the cable (100) ?<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I needed to use a brand new Dell PC (with GB nic) &nbsp;to download a big file from our own remote facility site. I was surprise to find out that on Task Manager the Network Utilization chart is always around 1%. I really expect it be higher since it was off-hour. Can someone help understand this?<br />
<br />
The between site-to-site is with a 3M T1 connection. The local client to server uses a wired 100 BasedT cable. <br />
<br />
Thanks.

In Win7 Task Manager, why does the Network Utilization always show around 1% ?

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
