Description Jamie Zawinski 2004-07-10 04:50:25 UTC 
I don't know how the system-monitor applet is deciding what my max network
bandwidth is, but it's guessing way too high.  I'm on T1, and even when I'm
pushing a full load, it never says that my network usage is more than a few percent.

I can't imagine how you'd determine that automatically, so shouldn't there be a
preference where I tell it what "100%" is?

Also, the tooltip just says "Network: 1% in use".  It might be more useful for
it to say (in addition to percentage) what the current kbps in use is (both in
and out?)  At least then I'd have some idea what's going on even when the
percentage is wrong.

gnome-system-monitor-2.0.5-0.ximian.6.1, libgnome-2.2.3-0.ximian.6.4

[ressigning to the proper module...]

btw, I see that you are on XD2 so I'm not sure if it's available there, but
notice that newer gnome versions have a nicer applett to monitor network
activity: it's called gnome-netstatus. It doesn't provide a graph and a
percentage though.
