Requesting a program. - Guldfisk - Jul 12, 2010
Hello, I don't know if this is the right section to post but here we go.
I recently spent some time searching for a program that would notify me if I lost internet connection because my internet is a little bit unstable so it would clearly help.
Unfortunately I didn't find any program so now I'm trying my luck here. I know DF is an awesome coder and I bet some one else on these forums knows how to do it so I want to request a program that shows me when I lose connection about every 500/400/300 milliseconds with as small CPU usage as possible.
I would like to have it like a windows gadget or just a .exe file that has a green light when I got internet and a red light when I lose it also if you could make this so I could use it when playing TF2 without windowed mode I would be very grateful.
tl;dr I need a program that shows me when I lose my internet connection.
If you don't think this is possible please tell me.

I guess it would work until I reach the bottom of the cmd. But then what? BTW a tiny scroll-thingy that barely moves like that is not so easy to notice if it moves or not.

but if you lose connection, you WILL notice the difference.

Hey, by all means. Beg and plead for someone to write you something with a big ass stop and go light.
You wanted a way to determine when you lost connection, I gave you an easy solution that required minimal to no effort by you or someone else.
wall-o-text will simply tell you if you're connected or not, unless of course DNS breaks or route to them goes down. Shrink the cmd window down to a single line if you don't like the wall.

Ok, so my earlier post came out wrong. I said I wanted a big wall of text to really notice it. Thanks for the tip but I'm at my father now and hes got a great connection so I'll try that next week.
