I ran my Internet connection through SpeedTest.net which claims that it finds out the actual Internet speed, much lower than that promised by my ISP.

Hack Isp Download Speed
But—while downloading—the speed is much lesser than the test results. Even after using download mangers like Internet Download Manager, there isn’t much difference.
Are some background apps consuming my Internet bandwidth? If so, how can I divert all of the bandwidth towards one application?

Are you sure you got control of BITS and BYTES?
When testing your speed with speedtests online, you're measuring BITS per second. When downloading files, your speed is in BYTES per second. As there is 8 bits in a byte - Your download speed 'should' equal your speedtest-result /8.
Download jabber for windows 10 windows 10. You can place calls, receive calls, call contacts out of Outlook, but when you try to click a phone number in the body of an email, Windows asks you what program to complete this with.
Getting 8mbps on speedtest, would give you 1MB/s download-speed.
Also check your sources. (Local-FTP???)You should also run different speedtests to verify a result. You will almost never get a 100% correct answer by running a speedtest, but it will give you a pointer.
To answer the question - there is software to monitor your computers bandwidth use, but it's not likely that's the culprit.
My guess is mixed terminology if you say the speed is 5 times higher on speedtest.
Addition: I just did a speedtest on speedtest.net. In my example, I 'should' get a download speed of 32,5MB/s. Now - with that speed there are other things limiting downloads (like disk-speed+++) but it should give me a pointer of what I could expect with hardware that supports it.

To test your ACTUAL download speed, you can go to http://speedtest.tweak.nl/.
It generates a binary file on-the-fly, so no matter how fast your line, you will always get what is possible with YOUR connection, not limited by the remote server.

For traffic monitoring you could use one of the many free network monitors out there, to find out, which application produces how much traffic.
As for bandwith shaping, I do not know any free/open software that does this; they all cost money, afaik.
