bandwidth2

Monitor bandwidth usage. This is a C version of the bandwidth blocklet.

It comes with some other features though:

• Automatically estimate what unit (K,M,G,T) to use depending on the value. You can still choose between bits and bytes.
• By default sum all the network interfaces (except lo) instead of only default route interface.
• Warning and critical colors as an option.
• Choice for SI units or binary units.
