Network Lights is a Windows program, which blinks keyboard LEDs (Light Emitting Diode) indicating outgoing and incoming network packets on network interface.
Network Lights lets you monitor network activity (upload/download) from your keyboard ScrollLock and NumLock indicators. Each LED will flicker when network traffic is detected.
This utility is a standalone executable. Run the program, you'll see a new system tray icon. Now you can monitor your network traffic using the ScrollLock and NumLock leds on your keyboard. Use the system tray icon (click the mouse) to customize program settings.
