[Suggestion] DownloadMeter

Post by RationalG »

I would like to have a download manager, possibly related to Firefox, working with Rainmeter. I was wondering if it would be hard to program such a thing. I know there's a widget who does the same thing, but with uTorrent only. What kind of line code would be necessary to show a download list on your desktop ?

Almost anything is possible... :great:

Off the top of my head... using a plugin such as filelist.dll you could 'watch' you're Firefox download folder location and parse the files contained within, and manipulate the output to place such a list upon your desktop. Doesn't seem that difficult actually now that I think about it.

Have a go at it! :thumbup:
