This showed me that my download speed was 52 Mbps, just whaat it is supposed to be. But my upload speed was only 1.67 Mbps, where it should have been 25 Mbps or so. At the time I was uploading distro torrents with Ktorrent, which told me that the total upload speed was 700-800 Kbps, which would account for maybe a quarter of the loss, but I need to figure out what is eating the rest of my upload speed. I tried iftop, but it doesn't seem to work, that is the display showed nothing at all. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
