--- Begin Message ---[Please keep the CC] Hi Ian, Could you address this user request in next speedometer release. Thanks, Jari (The Debian package Maintainer) Package: speedometer Version: 2.4-1 Severity: wishlist It would be very nice to be able to choose a linear scale instead of the logarithmic one. Logarithmic scales are very hard to interpret visually. In speedometer, the scale intervals are 1 KB/s, 32 KB/s, and 1 MB/s. My max upload speed is around 40 KB/s, and my max download speed is around 155 KB/s. That means that from 32 KB/s to 155 KB/s there is very little detail on the logarithmic scale in speedometer, which makes the graphs rather useless. An increase in download speed from 40 KB/s to 100 KB/s (2.5x, or jumping from about 40% to 65% of max) moves only three increments on the graph, or around 15% of the graph scale. The upload graph is worse: an increase from 20 KB/s to 40 KB/s (2x, or jumping from 50% to 100% of max) moves only one increment, or about 5% of the graph. (Increment meaning a row on the console.)
