Xnet Users Mac OS X Widget
A couple of weeks ago I decided I needed a new coding project to play with, seeing as I'm finished with University exams for the semester time is on my side.. apparently it was time to start a blog too!
A few ideas crossed my mind (some of which I'm hoping to start shortly) ranging from iPhone webapps to MediaPortal plugins, the most practical of all was an Xnet usage monitor widget for Mac OS X... and so it began:
Xnet Usage Monitor
Version 1.2
Version 1.2 Provides:
- Summary usage statistics of local, national and international traffic.
- Free data usage (torrent users)
- Accountable data total
- User configurable Datacap (and multi-coloured percentage indidcator)
- Current charges based on usage
- Configurable units (MB/GB)
- 15 minute auto-update
And with that I thought it was time to make it public to gather user input on where I should head next. I have been running this widget without issues for the past week on 2 Mac's but I'm limited to one Xnet plan type! I have only been able to test this widget with the Torrent plan data statistics and would like to hear what works/doesn't work from other users on different plans.
Comments welcome below.

I have downloaded the widget but it won't let me log into. it just says 'An error has occurred. Please check your user name and password.' Have put in the user name as shown and have the right password but it still won't login. Any help would be appreciated as it is the only usage monitor so far that I found which will download and work on my Mac - this includes Xnets own usage monitor.
Any help would be appreciated
Apart from the issue I have, nice work on the design and layout, it fits in with the rest of the widgets in the dashboard very well.
