Help me find a bandwidth monitor.

I'm looking for a freeware Windows bandwidth monitor that can be minimized to an icon sitting in the taskbar that displays a graph (think Process Explorer-style) of the up/down bandwidth.
There's a whole lot of these out there, so if the HiveMind can help me sort through the crap, I'd be thankful. My Google-fu fails me on this, but I remember using one that did this that had a crippling bug in it that would cause it to just stop working, reinstalls be damned. I neither remember the name, nor can I find it again, nor can I find anything nearly as useful.

Response by poster: What NetMeter does in the application window is exactly what I want it to do, but in the system tray. It doesn't seem to have that option, only gauges.

Worth noting you can get programs to do the minimising for you... this one for example.

Best answer: I'm a big fan of freemeter. Worth a check out.
