KNetStats

---

A simple network interface and statistics viewer for Linux based on the KDE 3 project of the same name by Hugo Parente Lima (hugo_pl).

KNetStats is a simple Qt network interface and statistics viewer with an associated tray icon to monitor activity.
It displays and graphs data transmission information for easy visualization. It also displays information such as associated IPs and MAC addresses.

Notes / Caveats:

• This project is new and a lot of changes had to be made to make it compatible with Qt 5
  • New features have been added, and I'm not the best programmer, so I expect there will be a couple bugs here and there
• For the time being only Linux is supported
• The original translations have not yet been incorporated, though the files remain in this repository
• Any contributions would be greatly appreciated

Credits:

• Hugo Parente Lima for the original KNetStats project that this is based on, without it this would not exist
• @birdie-github for thorough testing during development, and for kindly sponsoring that work
