Hi Nick I guess you want to identify the sites / processes on your Win-7 PC which are hogging your bandwidth.
You will have to use the aptly named Win-7 "Task Manager" for this which is accessed by pressing the "Ctrl-Alt-Del" keys simultaneously. After "Starting the Task Manager", click the "Performance" button (on top), this will give you access to the "Resource Monitor" button (bottom right hand). Click. Then click "Network" on top. .... Using this tool, I was able to establish (sufficiently for my own intellectual satisfaction) that Google, in India, was secretly "stealing" (or utilising) the bandwidth and drives of users with high-speed connections for 'peering' which was making their services faster than their competitors.
