Question about 3rd party software and syncing with RM

Post by Mor3bane »

Hi, hopefully this question will not stir up a hornets nest. Read on.

I just noticed how accurately the bittorrent client, qbittorrent tracks internet activity, even when idle.

I would like to do "something" (the term escapes me) to access it through rainmeter.

Has this ever been done or is there a limitation, or incompatibility?

Thanks for your patients.

One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.

Hi balala, I was aiming at the accuracy depicted in the image below:

updownmeasure.jpg
I have seen many of these, however they are always tiny and practically impractical save for appearance and piece of mind that internet is still working.

The image shows what the up/down looks like with google chrome opened - on this page incidentally.

Upon this, i reflect that I should look closer at those "tiny" meters (pun?) and assess their structure for the possibility that they can be made to perform as I wish mine to e.g. with floating parameters when the load increases or decreases with clearly visible totals and a "more easier on the eye" display.

Any recommendations? (re: qbittorrent).

Thanks as always :thumbup:

You might find this tip about stretching histogram/line meters from moshi of some use in trying to create a readable display ... :welcome:

I am sure it will - especially since I had no idea I might need to. :lol:
