Re:Ask HN: What's your favorite CLI or ncurses program? by rol on Friday September 04, 2015 @08:01AM (#10169847)
glances is nice if you want to get an overview of your system resources:

bmon and iftop can be used to see network usage:

Similar to iftop there is also iotop, but instead of showing network usage, it shows disk usage:

Side note: There was a blog a couple years ago, which isn't being updated now, that would post reviews of CLI tools. Anyone that is interested in this topic should take a look at it:
