KNETLoad is a small program for KDE, it's used to show statistics for a network connection.
KNETLoad is a network speed meter diagram for the KPanel. It will show the speeds of a network device with two diagrams, one for outgoing and one for incoming data. KNETLoad can read allmost any device which is listed in the /proc/net/dev file, that includes eth0, ppp0, ippp0 and many others, even non predefined devices can be typed into the program. The colors, style and speed of the diagrams can be configured.
KNETLoad is made for KDE and QT and works with kernels newer then 2.0, it will also work under some other WindowManagers, but then ofcourse, it won't be able to dock, which might look pretty dumb. KNETLoad is a tiny program and it don't show off too many functions, but sometimes I think it's nice to be able to keep track on a single device, just so that I allways can see right away is something is going on in the box.
KNETLoad is allmost finished, it has most of the features I've planned for it, and it seems like it works pretty ok on most computers. I might add more features to it if I get any wishes or other nice feedback :) but I'm more interested in fixing bugs if there are any, so please drop me a mail if anything doesn't work and I will do what I can to find and remove the bugs.
