Is there a windows program out there that I can use to monitor which programs are using the network? My pc seems to be using an awful lot of incoming bandwidth, as shown by Network Meter, a widget I have installed. I've looked at the sysinternals stuff, but I don't think it does heat I want, or it's too complicated for me to decipher.

Thanks
 
If you are running Windows 7, Resource Monitor will map network activity to processes, as well as average usage for the past minute.
 
Active Connections

If you open a dos prompt under 7 and run as the administrator.

type: netstat -n > c:\IP_LAN_port_to_IP_WAN_port.txt

Then you can view the file under Notepad.
