It has the basic functionality of iftop (a curses app), but with gui instead of tui (I don't think iftop has the country lookup, but I could add it if I wanted). Running a gui on a remote server is problematic, so iftop fits the bill for me. But I could see running this on my laptop. gkrellm (gui) gives the basic up/down over time with very small footprint, but doesn't have all the features. It also has a plugin api, however.
