Problem
Is there a good bit of software on Mac OS X that I can use to monitor incoming and outgoing network activity? Nothing too geeky, I just want something simple to use. I'm on version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) if that helps.

Fix for: Is there a good tool for monitoring network activity on Mac OS X?
Low Risk
Wireshark is widely acknowledged as one of the best network monitor tools available. Distributions are available for OS X. If you prefer something more simplistic you can use iStatMenus to show incoming / outgoing network traffic speeds. For the person who doesn't want to install anything you can also use tcpdump in Terminal.
