Hughesnet usage meter
fallteeth, first click on the little up arrow in lower right tray, then cutomize. Then choose to show notifications and icon. The meter opens into the tray when the desktop icon is clicked. You have to double click on the tray icon to actually open the meter.
Due to recent computer issue I have upgraded to the latest status meter. I don't like it at all.
Does anyone have a link to the previous version with the status bar showing how close you are to your limits for the month?

Ricky This contains both 6.5.x and 6.6.x, as well as files and instructions to prevent either version from doing the annoying "Update to the new version" junk... Use at your own risk, there are disclaimers inside the zip file... Neither Hughesnet, nor I am responsible for anything that may occur should you elect to use the modified status meter files, or even click that link.
I HIGHLY suggest sticking to 6.6.x though as it's required if you ever go to a Gen5 style service plan on either of the satellite systems.
Perfect. I am running 6.5 since I am still on Gen 4 with no plans to upgrade as long as she runs as good as it is now. Or I can't stand it anymore and need the new stuff. hahahaha
Thanks!
Whoever designed the usage meter did a terrible job! At first (and second) glance, it looks like you've already topped out your data limit! It's a very bad graph. I find myself spending hours on the web looking for something better. Hughes, this is disappointing.
