Aqua-Soft ForumsI was just wondering if there was such a thing as a torrent docklet for RK. Isn't there one for OSX.
Torrent Docklet
A torrent docklet?
In OS X some torrent apps give u the option to show download/upload speed and completed count badges.
Is that what you mean?
I use Transmission on my Macs and nothing of the sort has came to my knowledge.
I second beef's request 
This is the sort of thing that would be great on windows. I am not a developer, but if you are you should make it.
I think a docklet which monitors bandwith by specifying app path would suffice. I'm already searching...
Beh....I've never noticed :slant:
Sweet, matonga's on it for us. 
Here's Transmission in action... a more appropriate color scheme, I think.
Download speed on top, Upload on bottom.
Mmm... I couldn't find anything. Did anyone else find something?
To me the download rate is way more important the the upload rate, But in this docklet you should have the option to view one or both.
I know systats docklet can show upload download bandwith but I'm not sure if it will do it app specific or not.
I did a little docklet to test:

I made it skinnable, because I can't do a good design myself (I'm coder, not artist )
It should not work in Windows Vista.
Indeed it should not work in Windows XP SP 2, but it works in mine... ??? :-P
Now I can go to sleep 
Edit: oh sh***t, the docklet KILLS the network performance... :-( this is probably a problem of the component I'm using, which sends me packets for ALL ports (I have no way to specify which port, I have to filter it after I already have the packet). Fortunately I have the sources of the component, so I'll be checking that if no better alternative appears.

Hi,Matonga ,in what windows does it work then?
Anyway it's detected in Rocket dock (using XP SP2) but I don't know which port do I have to fill in,please help me,thank's
It depends on your Torrent client. You should check your client configuration.
Which torrent client are you using?
Note: for uTorrent users, this is menu OptionsPreferences, then Connections, then Listening port. In my case is 55675 but this is generated randomly at install.
If you just want to test if the bandwidth detection is working, then enter 80 as port, and point your browser to some page such as Youtube. It should show two numbers (one in green and one in blue) over the silver squares.
Yes,it works matonga using 80 port but only the blue one,the green one only appears as 0.0K,why ? ,thank's
Mmm... lets see...
The green one is the download rate, and the blue one is the upload rate.
However, because you put port 80 which is for pages you access, not pages being accessed from your computer, the numbers are reverted and the green one is the upload and the blue one the download rate.
Did you run it under XP or Vista?
Whatever, I'm planning to change this to use WinPCap (the .dll library, not the executable itself), this will allow more performance and right numbers at the cost of having to install WinPCap, which I think is a good cost, considering that it is free and open source.
The best would be a plugin, but I use uTorrent and it doesn't support plugins 
nor it provides any way to know the bandwidth usage, except WebUI which I hadn't check and don't want to (too complicated, plus I'm not a big fan of html scrapping).
I'm using XP SP2,and I just love to see the "traffic" Kb/s,actually I don't use torrent a lot,now I use a real Transmission icon,and look nice,so I'm looking forward for the "green" works,thank's matonga
This is fast man, just a couple of things your text seems to be aligned to the left could you align that to the right so the "K" symbols remain one above the other? and could you change it so that a right click is to configure it and the left click is a shortcut to a specified file (uTorrent) that way we just click the dock icon to start the program.
Just edit the skin ini file
Just edit the skin ini file
If you look at my screenshot its obvious I edited the .ini but there is nothing in there that deals with text alignment.
You asked:"your text seems to be aligned to the left could you align that to the right",maybe you can edit the "X=",if I'm not mistaken
Yes I can move the text over but as the kilobytes get bigger from 1.2 k to 10.2 k everything is aligned to the 1 not the k hope you understand.
I didn't know there is people already using the docklet... this was released "as is"
Let me do some stuff with stacks docklet first, then I get to this one.
Nice, shame it dose not work on windows SP3
matonga is busy right now with the stacks docklet as he said he will touch on this one when he has time.
