bytes_received consistently more than bytes_sent

I think there msut be a mistake because using the --json flag for results I consistently see that bytes_received is more than bytes_sent, so the lost bytes is negative. Have these values been returned the wrong way around in the json construction?
I'm not sure what you mean by bytes_received and bytes_sent. Can you elaborate?
When you run librespeed-cli with --json option,
e.g. ~ librespeed-cli --json
{"timestamp":"2021-03-16T13:11:33.548884+02:00","server":{"name":"London, England (Clouvider)","url":"http://lon.speedtest.clouvider.net/backend"},"client":{"ip":"197.89.195.48","hostname":"197-89-195-48.dsl.mweb.co.za","city":"Cape Town","region":"Western Cape","country":"ZA","loc":"-33.9258,18.4232","org":"AS10474 Dimension Data (Pty) Ltd - Optinet","postal":"7945","timezone":"Africa/Johannesburg"},"bytes_sent":39321600,"bytes_received":80420607,"ping":152,"jitter":4.07,"upload":20.16,"download":41.24,"share":""}
the values for bytes_sent is less than bytes_received, as you can see in this actual output. This does not make sense, because the number of bytes received cannot be more than what was sent
bytes_sent is the byte count for the upload action, and bytes_received is for download.
They don't correlate with each other in any way.
