User2100 on 2023-11-09 13:55

Looks like a nice program, but the first CSV I loaded failed at linefeeds within quotes and treated those as new records, even though the developer site links to a CSV definition article that starts by saying it should be able to. Both excel and libreoffice did load the file correctly. Ah well.

CountryTraceRoute also displays the country of the owner of every IP address found in the traceroute, and ASN Network Carrier information per hop.

After the traceroute is completed, you can select all items (Ctrl+A) and then save them into csv/tab-delimited/html/xml file with 'Save Selected Items' option (Ctrl+S) or copy them to the clipboard (Ctrl+C) and then paste the result into Excel or other spreadsheet application.

What's new?
  • Added support for IPv6 addresses.
  • You can choose one of the following IP address modes: IPv4, IPv6, or Automatic.
  • In order to get country/city and ASN information for IPv6 addresses, simply download the desired IPv6 files from https://github.com/sapics/ip-location-db and put them in the same folder of CountryTraceRoute.exe with their original filename. (For example: asn-country-ipv6.csv , asn-ipv6.csv)
  • Added 'Copy IP Addresses' option, which copies the IP addresses of the selected items to the clipboard.

AHA ! CountryTraceroute v1.30 released 30MAY2019

CT finally provides pertinent ASN information, (useful to identify Network Carrier per IP hop),
as presaged by the recent introduction of ASN data in IPinfoOffline v1.50.

Happy conclusion to a looong quest for a coveted feature (began JUNE 2013)...;-)
https://tinyurl.com/y2re454h

Caveat:
Loading the optional Maxmind Geolite2 ASN*.CSV file alone takes about 10 sec(under XP)
or 5 sec(under Win7). Loading all the Geolite2 *.CSV files takes about 28 sec (XP)

Loading time might be considerably reduced in future versions by querying the equivalent Maxmind Geolite2 compiled binaries instead of *.CSV

...Fingers crossed...;-)

Baas: no prob, thanks for direct-linking the 32 and 64-bit versions. Adding a notice about the adware version.

TP109 on 2014-09-05 05:39

In spite of the adware issues, I think this is the easiest-to-use and to setup CPU temperature application. It's on all my PCs and I've never had a problem with it. Just set it and forget it. The digital temperature display in the system tray is very visible and useful when resource-heavy apps are running. I'm surprised this isn't rated higher.
