Speedometer project is a console bandwidth and file download progress monitor with a logarithmic bandwidth display and a simple command-line interface.

Usage:

speedometer [options] tap [[-c] tap]... Monitor network traffic or speed/progress of a file transfer. At least one tap must be entered. -c starts a new column, otherwise taps are piled vertically.

Taps: filename [expected-size] display download speed [with progress bar] -rx network-interface display bytes received on network-interface -tx network-interface display bytes transmitted on network-interface

Options: -i interval-in-seconds eg. "5" or "0.25" default: "1" -p use plain-text display (one tap only)

Requirements:
Urwid 0.8.9 or later

What's New in This Release:
A new option was added to treat nonexistent files as zero length, to let Speedometer start before the files are created.
Multiple file taps may now be piled vertically in the same column for display.
