NetLimiter Monitor is a simple tool that allows you to monitor applications that have open Internet connections. I tested version 2.0.10. The Explorer-like interface shows all applications together with their processes. The transfer rates are displayed for each application's process, separately.

This can be useful if a program launches other apps. In such cases, you often don’t really know which application actually connects to the Internet. A typical example is the notorious svchost.exe. NetLimiter Monitor displays the PID of each process which you can use to track down the real culprit with Process Explorer or Process Monitor.
If an application connects to multiple IPs, NetLimiter Monitor displays each of them and the amount of data transferred in both directions. It is interesting to see how many different hosts can be contacted once you open a common web page. If you monitor your web browser with NetLimiter while opening 4sysops.com, you will see that more than 20 hosts have assembled a web page.
There is a Lite ($16.95) and a Pro ($29.95) version of NetLimiter which allow you set download or upload transfer rate limits for applications, connections or groups of them.
in the last paragraph you said we have to pay for NetLimiter, but the title you said it’s free.
Jackie, there are three editions of a Netlimiter. One is free, and the other two are commercial tools.
In the same category is TrafficShaperXP, it will show you the bandwidth consumed by each open tcp/udp connection on the computer, and allow for limiting of bandwidth to local or remote sites in the free version
