    There is plenty, if you mean bandwidth usage, that is. There are app's available for Rainmeter, or, for Desktop Gadget. Check out here for some ones that may take your fancy.

    EDIT: Out of the site I provided, I recommend this one.

    Windows own Resource Monitor does it perfectly well

    I like netmeter for bandwidth tracking and monitoring your speed... it is quite lightweight and simple

    I agree with this. Just open the task manager and go to the performance tab. Near the bottom is a button to open the resource manager.
