Netspeed indicator for Ubuntu 14.04

[linuxmint7771]

I have a 3G mobile broadband connection that keeps changing network speed according to location and time and so I relied heavily on this applet http://www.webupd8.org/2011/05/how-t...-download.html to monitor my netspeed and to choose a good location and time to download big files. Now this applet doesn't seem to run on Ubuntu 14.04 anymore. I love this release and I don't want to relapse into previous releases for this. So I need an alternative to this one that displays netspeed in digits unlike indicator multiload! Any help would be appreciated guys

Thanks for your help. I followed commands in above link. Now it shows netspeed-indicator , but it only shows download speed. Is it programmed to show that way?
in ubuntu 13.04 i have installed one such indicator (indicator-sysmon) which was showing both upload & download as well as ram and cpu usages. Anyway Thanks again.

in meantime i tried again installing indicator-sysmon & now it working but with missing icon. see screenshot.

Many thanks!! But how can I install indicator-sysm?

I have added this applet to startup applications like this:

cd indicator-netspeed && make && ./indicator-netspeed

but it does not start and so i created a file with this content:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxx


#!/bin/bash

cd indicator-netspeed && make && ./indicator-netspeed

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx
and added it to startup applications
