DiskSpy Solid 1.4

DiskSpy Solid - Software disk LED for Macs running Mac OS X
DiskSpy Solid is a more advanced version of DiskSpy. In addition to giving users a "software disk LED" that shows local disk reads and writes in the menu bar, DiskSpy Solid also shows network activity in the menu bar.

DiskSpy Solid will show when a read or write is occurring on any active physical network interface. Some possible uses include watching reads and writes to network disks (including Apple's iDisk service, AFP/NFS/Samba/WebDAV disks, and FTP servers), watching a program use the network, or simply testing to see if a connection is working.

DiskSpy Solid has several advantages over other programs that have a similar feature. Many other programs that show network traffic use the command line utility Netstat, which means they may use more CPU time, they are dependent on a program that runs with super-user privileges, they are often fooled by loopback and pipe traffic, and they don't get information in real time. DiskSpy Solid has none of these problems.

Limitations:

Until it is registered, it will automatically quit at a completely random time interval.


What's New in This Release:

Removed Mac OS X 10.1.x support.

Removed PPP mode, which was really only useful under Mac OS X 10.1.x.

Updated contact information, finally.

Fixed a bug where sometimes the icons got "stuck" in one position and the program would not work correctly until it was relaunched.

DiskSpy now runs at full speed on Intel processors.
