Reporting wrong download speed

Earthling-Z3R0 opened this issue · 2 comments

My download speed is being reported as 8.8 M/s while in reality it's 12.5 M/s as shown on my conky and other tools (and which is actually my maximum download speed possible).

Funny thing is when the download is being started it first shows 12.5 M/s for one update interval (set to 1.5 seconds in my case) but then jumps down to 8.8 M/s as the maximum value.

I can't tell right now whether the upload speed is reported correctly or not.

Don't set the seconds to 1.5 if you want accurate results, change it to 1

Yeah that actually works. However then I am wondering why there is a setting to change the interval at all. I wanted to reduce CPU load a bit that's why I set it to 1.5. Anyway, thanks for the hint.
