FreeMeter Bandwidth Monitor For Windows / News: Recent posts

Thanks to one of the users I've found out that FreeMeter code was stolen... mr. Nir Halowani violated GPL by putting modified version of FreeMeter called Cyber Bandwith Monitor. Not so long ago his modified version was distributed with key logger... Now it is installing Yahoo toolbar without your premission (it is very sad that a comapny like Yahoo! doesn't know that it is doing business with thieves).... read more

For those who don't know, SF has changed its CVS repository hostname, see below for updated cvs commands. Be advised that the CVS repository contains changes that are not part of the source available from sourceforge site download, or freemeter site download. Anyone interested in contributing to freemeter's codebase should start with the CVS source and not the source zip files from the download locations. ... read more

this is mainly a bugfix for the problem pointed out
by a user which doesnt update the tooltip if the
notify icon while the desktop graph is hidden. Also
Color pickers are added for background and text,
allowing you to choose any color combo you like.
Also 32 mbit scale has been added to better display heavy wireless-g traffic.

New version with new UPnP NAT Mapping Utility for those who have a UPnP NAT capable Internet Gateway Device (e.g. DSL modem). Also, more color options, fewer bugs, and some new DU Meter like icons from Miechu, thanks man!

see changelog here or in the zip file for detailed info.

a CVS repository has been created, and should be used as the base source by anyone interested in development. This code should not be concidered a realease, releases will be posted in the files section and the freemeter home page as per usual.

to checkout a copy use the equivalent commands for your client:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freemeter login
(enter blank pass)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/freemeter co -P FM_CVS... read more

its been a few months since any activity, i would just like to say thank you for the downloads and trying out my software, improvements and new features will be added when my time allows it.

Features i wish to work on are improved logging and statistics, a gif or <table> graph maker for the web log, better color options (grayscale would be nice at least).

I have been informed of a bug in the totals log areas that occurs when more than one network interface is installed, and enabled in freemeter. The totals are multiplied by the number of interfaces enabled, and therefore the actual value should be the displayed value divided by the number of interfaces enabled. To avoid this bug, only enable one interface at a time in freemeters menu.... read more
