ii nload 0.6.0-3 A
realtime console network usage monitor
When you start nload the 'normal' way it will provide you with an average
value. This value is calculated based on a window, the user can set the window
using the -s flag followed by a value between 1 and 9 inclusive, when not
passed 9 will be used. This smoothvalue * 45 is the number of values that will
be stored. As soon as the bandwidth exceeds a certain value (problem doesn't
occur with 60 mbit, but occurs with 90 mbit after approx three minutes) the
calculated sum of transferred data will overflow the 32 bit digit which is
stored withing it and you will need to restart nload to get a new reading. (or
you should specify using the -s flag from the beginning).
The error lies in the file status.cpp in the function unsigned long
Status::calcAverage(), I will provide a diff which solves this issue.
** Affects: nload (Ubuntu)
