A small Network throughput meter which works with just about any network device.
This is a network throughput meter for the KDE Kicker. It will show the speeds of a network device with two diagrams, one for outgoing and one for incoming data. KNETLoad can read almost any device that is listed in the /proc/net/dev file, which 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.
To bring up the settings menu, simply rightclick on the diagram. Before KCPULoad will work you must define what device it should use, and set the correct scaling value which depends on the speed of your network device.
Leftclick on the diagram to bring up a small information box which will show the exact input and output speeds in text form, and the total amount of outgoing and incoming data.
