I've got this problem too. Not quite sure what to do with nload, could
you describe? Thanks.

I've attached a screenshot showing the difference between what wget is
telling me and what System Monitor is telling me.

This problem only cropped up when I moved from normal ethernet
connection and rt2x00-based wireless to exclusively using an atheros
card. I think the source of it is that the atheros drivers create two
interfaces -- wifi0 (sort of a control device) and ath0 (a virtual
device). Both of them send and receive data (if only virtually), so
System Monitor doesn't know that they're the same device and thus
reports roughly double the rate.

tcpstat confirms this, but I think the screenshot attached should show
it sufficiently.
