IDNet Bandwith Usage Monitoring Gadget for Windows 7 / Vista Sidebar

Simon · Feb 13, 2011, 17:45:22

We can temporarily allow .zip attachments, if that's any use.

tKe · Feb 13, 2011, 17:46:53

Just .gadget and .apk. I've fixed the links anyway now.

Windows 7/Vista Gadget
Android Widget

Rik · Feb 13, 2011, 17:48:24

Not working here.

I'll open up gadget and apk for you, give me a minute.

Rik · Feb 13, 2011, 17:49:56

OK, you should now be able to attach.

tKe · Feb 13, 2011, 18:34:06

The broken links was due to DNS settings which may take 48 hours to filter through to IDNet's DNS servers. I'm using the Google Public DNS servers which already have the update.

Either way, I've attached the Windows 7/Vista Gadget (IDNetBUM.gadget) and Android Widget (IDNetBUMWidget.apk).

Rik · Feb 13, 2011, 18:35:35

I'll make sure we have backups of them in case of another such hack.

Paxtonite · Feb 13, 2011, 18:37:50

Fantastic! Thanks for that tKe.

Thanks but I managed to find my original copy on a backup.

I'm sure it might still be useful for others.

Rik · Mar 05, 2011, 12:36:55

I'd suspect so as its adding to the sidebar.

sparkler · Mar 05, 2011, 19:58:07

pctech · Mar 05, 2011, 20:54:01

Once its installed I doubt it

sparkler · Mar 10, 2011, 09:03:02

I've been playing around with a tool called Rainmeter it's an amazing open source program, It makes it real easy to have a stunning looking desktop

Here's my current

Anyway we can convert the gadget to this as it will then make it real easy to skin etc?

The skin im using for Rainmeter is Gnometer just incase any one want it as its a breeze to setup

It's 100% safe if you prefer you can check out the google project page

That site is OK. It was "Here's my current" that caused the problem.

Ah well localhostr is a website for sharing small files =) so i guess people can use it for abuse aswell

Taken from their website:
localhostr is a great way to quickly share all kinds of files. we've just relaunched the site and hope you like it! start by using the file browser. 1GB per file for registered users otherwise 50MB per file.

Hi Guys,

I've just downloaded and installed the Bandwidth Monitor Gadget on a Windows 7 machine
and I can't get it to recognise my Username or Key?? Just says 'Username may be Invalid'
'Key may be Invalid'.

Anyone any ideas what may be the problem??

Thanks

Seadog · May 06, 2011, 13:48:16

Just to add I've put in my normal Username and Password as used to log into IDNet.

Glenn · May 06, 2011, 13:50:07

PM tKe, it's his little app, so I would think he will help you.

Hi Seadog,

The Username should be your normal username, the "key" is not your password, but is the "key" part of your RSS feed URL.
You can obtain this by doing the following:

Log in to the IDNet.net customer portal: https://www.idnet.net/secure/
Down on the bottom of the list on the left should be a link for Updates Via RSS
Right click on one of the top two links and choose to "Copy Link Address" (or something similar - depends on your browser)
Paste this into notepad or the address bar or somewhere and it will show you your "key" (everying after "key=" on the URL)
NB: to make things easier, you can paste this into the Username or Key box in the gadget setup and it will automagically extract the required components for you.

I hope that helps, if you still have problems, please do not hesitate to PM me or respond in this thread (where others can help or learn from the solution)

Good luck, and I hope you enjoy using it
