Net Monitor
Current Version: 3.9.5 (December 24, 2005) / 4.4.5 (May 2, 2008)
Net Monitor is an inexpensive shareware application written for Mac OS X (10.1 or later) that graphs network interface throughput in a floating window, the Dock or the Menu Bar. Very simple! As of version 2, the software incorporated the functionality of the previously-separate PPP Monitor application by the same author.
Version 4.4.5 - available for Mac OS X 10.4 and later only - makes the following changes from the previous release (3.9.5 is still available for older Macs):
- Renamed Stopwatch to Speedometer.
- Updated Speedometer and preferences segmented controls to Tiger/Leopard style (instead of 10.2/10.3).
- Added link to Speedometer from Traffic Log toolbar.
- Added link to Traffic Log from graph regular window (below the graph on the right side).
- NIB files are no longer editable by users.
- Really last build for Mac OS X 10.4 (except necessary fixes).

These are applications that are newer and of potential interest, but which I haven't yet selected for permanent inclusion. Have a look, and let me know if you think they deserve to be part of the permanent collection!
