This is my first little contribution to the Pandora community. Just place it in your home directory, give the executable permission and run from the terminal (you may also run it by double clicking but you'll have to kill it manually later). Updates each second, takes the average of the last 10 seconds(easily changeable, just change the value of samplesize just at the beginning of the script) and shows it on a notification bubble. Useful for determining wifi speeds directly on the Pandora. Enjoy.

I just became aware of conky and the script looks highly integrable into it.

It turns out that conky already has extensive support for network speeds:



Code:
${downspeedgraph wlan0 32,155 ff0000 ff7700} $alignr${upspeedgraph wlan0 32,155 ff0000 ff7700}

will display a very nice graph of network traffic and:



Code:
${downspeed wlan0} ${upspeed wlan0}

will display download and upload speeds separately.


I recommend using those along with the whole conky goodness.
