I use DenyIP 1.1 to view what is connected. It can list user,
domain/ip, port/node, protocol and application. It can also block a
domain/ip. Its cleaner and easier than MacSniffer or Sniffles. Only
irritation is you can't keep it on screen. (it autocloses if you click
off of it)
It doesn't appear that the developer is updating or hosting it any more
as their website is no longer active.

I can use netstat to view all the connections but I have no idea what
application those connections "belong" to. This is something I would
assume Little Snitch would already know about, and I'd really like to
be able to tell that the twenty connections to X.Y.Z all come from
Safari (or whatever). Just a simple, pretty and easy to understand
list with the name of the application (optionally the path, to help
spot anything masquerading as something else, maybe), an icon, where
it was connected to etc.
This idea could be taken a little further, and Little Snitch could
give some sort of visual indicator (whether this be an icon, or the
colour of the text) that distinguishes between the different types of
connection (i.e. whether it's an allow once that is still active, an
allow til quit or a permanent connection).
Possibly, if it were deemed worth adding, future enhancements could
include adding showing the amount of data sent/received and the speed
at which it did so in KB/s or whatever.
Playing devil's advocate I can see that people buy Little Snitch to
stop them worrying about what's trying to connect out and it may, or
may not, be beyond the "normal" user but for anyone like myself it is
a very nice feature that would make (or have made, in my case) the
decision to cough up the $$$ for Little Snitch even easier.
Anyways, just thought I'd put it out there.
