This is a Windows Desktop Gadget for Amnet users which displays your remaining internet quota.
It's created by Gino Passarelli, worked on by Griz, FoZZa and myself. Previously the only homepage it had was a forum thread on Whirlpool, so I set up this page to host it after Amnet changed their quota reporting system and I tweaked it to my own taste.
It updates every 30 minutes, and has a full/zoomed/undocked view with more details as well as the compact view.
The peak/offpeak bandwidth usage areas will become highlighted when they are currently in use. So on Saturday off-peak will be highlighted, but on Monday at 5pm peak will be.
The color of the bar will change from green to red depending on the usage, and how well it compares to the time remaining until the quota resets.
Also the color can be flipped from the left to the right via the settings panel for people who intuitively prefer knowing how much bandwidth they have used rather than how much they have remaining.
A total of all bandwidth types is included on the full view, and each quota type displays its download/upload ratio.
Only local/non-peered bandwidth usage is shown in the small view, unless a significant amount of peered bandwidth is being used, since enough peered bandwidth is given that it's hard to imagine using it all, so it isn't useful to know.
When configuring it if you have trouble double-check that you're entering the correct username and password by using your username and password to log onto the Amnet member control panel.
If you want to let other people who are using the same connection use the gadget, without needing to tell them what user/password settings to enter, you can modify the gadget like so:
If you are Gino and have set up a page for this gadget let me know and I'll redirect to there. If you've improved the
gadget let me know and I'll host it here.
