Description BETTER STUFF HERE

This started out as an experiment to see if I can solve a Rainmeter's "web-parsing" issue - holding old non-existent data once the source isn't providing it anymore. What this means is that when you remove a torrent or read a new mail, your Rainmeter skin will keep displaying info about it. The only way for user to solve this was to refresh the skin.
I have found a way to determine which torrents are real and which ones were already removed. Refreshing is not needed at all!

The experiment started on =poiru 's Gnometer skin, he is the author of the base code and design. The design was modified more in the area of overall look/feel. Dimensions (i.e. spacing, sizes, positions) are mostly all his design.
poiru's Gnometer skins here

FEATURES:
*Displays up to 20 torrents
*Refreshing is unnecessary - stops displaying old torrents as soon as they're removed
*Individual download speed next to unfinished torrents
*Overall download/upload speed in form of a graph and numbers
*Dimensions of the drop-down list will fit to the number of opened torrents. List containing 1 torrent won't cover half of your screen (see the image above)
...And the best feature:
*1956 lines of code will give you hours of fun

Sometimes the skin will need a few seconds to process all the data, which means that torrents won't appear/disappear the same moment you add/remove them, but about 2-3 seconds later. Same goes for dimensions of the drop-down list.

Gmail skin with same features (20 mails, refreshing not needed, etc...) is coming soon!
EDIT: Here it is: [link]
----------------------------------------
UPDATE #1: I re-uploaded the skin, because there was an issue with first torrent's speed not adding up to overall speed. Apologies to all that already downloaded.

#2: Fixed 2nd torrent's DL speed not showing.
#3: Fixed 3rd torrent not showing.

It is possible that there are still some other little errors in the code. If anything doesn't work properly, please report here.
Also, forgot to mention that you have to set up Web UI in your uTorrent: poiru's guide

Skin should be without issues now.

PS: Nobody noticed a lot of "joke" torrents?

Error:
Meter [Torr1 Text] cannot be bound with [Torr1]
Meter [Torr3Bar] cannot be bound with [TorrDL3]
Meter [TorrSP4] cannot be bound with [DlSpeed4]
and many more errors of the same kind...

Hope this helps.

This is very strange. Could you open the ini file and search (ctrl+f, too many lines) for those things just to see if they are in there?

Did you download .rar or .rmskin version? I replaced rar with rmskin some time ago, maybe it was not packed properly. I will look into that.
