Hi

Is it just me or are the captions incorrect for some of the items in this section, and also the result for Total bytes sent / received need to be converted in same was as Current Bytes sent / received

See attached image where I have marked in red what I think captions should be going on output I see on my screen and from analyzing the values in the variables

  1. I will change the labels Current download speed and Current upload speed

  2. Then labels Total bytes received and Total bytes sent are the network statistics from the network adapter ... if i convert it to a larger unit (MB, GB), you don't see if you currently sending or receiving packages:

  1. The labels Total download and Total upload, shows the amount of data since the start time shown above... Any ideas how to name these labels?

  1. In tools I have done in the past I convert it depending on size, so shows bytes, kb, mb, or gb depending on value - then it works whatever the size

  2. From my testing one set of values show the total sent/received by the selected network card since last rebooted (hence calling them TOTAL) and the other shows the sent/received amount during this current session of "measured time"

  1. I swaped the values MBit/s and MB/s in the Current download speed and Current upload speed. The first value is also displayed in the graph.

  2. I still think that it is good to see changes in the packages (bytes sent/received)... if you convert it to GB and only receive a few bytes, you don't see changes. But i added the MB/GB/etc. to the label.

  3. I changed the labels to Currently downloaded and Currently uploaded.

I would arrange the labels differently ... but the following areas are interdependent:

I close the issue with the commit... feel free to open it again, if you suggest changes.

Okay thanks

As for point 2, if it is only a few bytes received then it would show as bytes, it is only if over 1024 bytes it shows as kb, over 1024 kb shows as mb and so on - so would show right anyway

In image above the green area will always be the higher values as shows total downloaded/uploaded since computer rebooted - the one which could have smaller values would be the currently downloaded/uploaded in the read area, surely?

Only my thoughts of course. It is your great app, so only giving input, which may be useful sometimes and not others :)
