Product Description:
PacketStream provides point-and-click activation of the Mac's built-in network monitoring program, which is usually available only from the command line. By clicking a few buttons, you can monitor data as it streams over your network--especially useful for checking web traffic, network bottlenecks, or even suspicious network activity. All network data is displayed in the application itself, and you can save the data to a file for further analysis later. PacketStream provides a user-friendly way to configure and use the Mac's network monitoring tools. It is easier than typing in cryptic commands in Terminal. As a native Aqua application, it is more intuitive to use than complex, hard-to-install, Unix-based GUI programs. And it is simpler than more expensive "swiss army knife" network programs, which are overkill for most users.
What's new in this version:
* UI improvements: Standard Mac toolbar, standard Mac search field, two-pane layout. More intuitive and simple to use.
* Live resizing of window view.

Slow, Worthless - Version: 2.3, 2/14/2008 12:00AM PST

This thing takes forever to get started (force quit it the first time because I thought it was hung up). Once it's started it's really, really slow to update. It displays a watch cursor or beach ball most of the time. Totally unusable. And he's trying to charge MONEY for this? Right.

This is quite an improvement over 2.1. The interface has dramatically improved. The buttons now look more Mac-like. Now to get rid of the jagginess of the search field. I also like not having to open the hierarchal tree for the different ports that you can monitor and not having to confirm that I wish to quit the application every time. The help documentation is actually useful now and gives a brief introduction to the tcpdump command. Good work overall!
There is a small improvement that I would like to see in the autoupdate feature. It would be nice to actually view the progress when it is downloading the new version. Something like what the Sparkle framework does where it shows the remaining amount of data to download that updates as it finishes.
