    Major bump, but I have a generally working version of this program now. It should work for any redistribution of WildBlue, and runs on 32 or 64 bit Windows XP to 7, as it now runs on the .NET 4 Framework. The address is WildBlue Bandwidth Monitor - RealityRipple Software .

    Making a Usage Logger

    Hello, everyone! I'm currently developing a little utility application that reads my current bandwidth usage as recorded by WildBlue Satellite, logs it, and displays nice graphs. I get my connection through Dish Network, though, and the information is retrieved from...
