inverted in terms of "in" and "out". The easiest way I've found to figure it out is to cause some sort significant traffic over a long period of time, a big download for instance, the you can clearly see which one MRTG thinks is "IN", and then if neccesary switch it so that it makes sense to you when you read it.
Good to know - trying it out right now (PCLinuxOS download <g>)
Also, latency plays a big part in how fast "The Internet" feels. If you need to monitor that, I suggest using smokeping. Really really nice tool. http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/smokeping/ . In a nutshell, point it to some off-site server, router, or what have you (your first hop ISP router is often a good choice) and it will show you all sorts of interesting latency information on your link at (IIRC) arbitrary intervals. This is much better tool for measuring the responsiveness of your link.
