Brainstorming - WinPE 4 ExtraFiles - transfer rate indicator

Unanswered Brainstorming - WinPE 4 ExtraFiles - transfer rate indicator

    I was pondering a way to display the network speed during a deployment.

    Andrew posted a while back about using BGinfo in WinPE.  This is a good example of using ExtraFiles and a WinPE answer file to auto-run applications in WinPE.

    Does anyone know of a lightweight tool that could show us the transfer rate during deployment?  A small graph would be ideal, similar to Windows 8 file delete/move progress indicator.  Text would be fine too though.

    Does anyone have any other useful tools they add to WinPE other than BGinfo?  Personally I added a small diskpart script to allow the input of "wipe" to clean/partition/format disk 0 but that's about it.

    We did a thread that covers some of this a while back. It's here.

    Might be time to start a new one. ;)
