PikPikMeter

PikPikMeter is a network traffic meter program for MS Windows that shows current network traffic (upload and download speed) and paints traffic graph from it showing the most recent history. That's it. Nothing else.

  • .NET 4.5.1
  • Windows Operating System

Configuration

Config file is stored in

%LOCALAPPDATA%/PikPikMeter/PikPikMeter_<random>/<version>/

As there's no uninstaller (or installer, for that matter) for PikPikMeter, to fully manually uninstall, remove the .exe file and this config directory must be removed as well.
