- bitmeteros_0.7.6-all-32bit-pups.pet
- Handy for those with bandwidth 'caps' from their ISPs. This is a lightweight bandwidth-usage meter, with an HTML 'GUI' that you access via your browser. Makes sense if you think about it, since the browser is where you incur all your bandwidth anyway. Forum thread.
