Usage

You will easily notice this window is devided into two main parts:

• Graphs
• Statistics tree

Graphs

Graphs give a quick idea of how the connections have been doing for the last minutes. There are three graphs available.

Please make sure you have read and understood how graphs should be read.

Download speed

This is the top left graph.

This graph shows how the download has been doing for the last minutes.

• The lighter green line represents current download speed.
• The darker green represents the average download speed for the last X minutes, being X the amount of minutes set in Preferences (Preferences -> Statistics -> "Time for average graph")
• The darkest green represents the average download speed for the last X minutes, being X the amount of minutes that fit in the graph

Upload speed

This is the top right graphic.

This graph shows how the download has been doing for the last minutes.

• The lighter red line represents current upload speed.
• The darker green represents the average upload speed for the last X minutes, being X the amount of minutes set in Preferences (Preferences -> Statistics -> "Time for average graph")
• The darkest green represents the average upload speed for the last X minutes, being X the amount of minutes that fit in the graph

Connections

This is the bottom left graphic.

This graph shows the amount of active connections.

• The pink line represents the actively downloading connections
• The yellow line represents the actively uploading connections
• The blue line represents all active connections

Notice that by the Active connections text you can see a numbers combination. This numbers shows how much of the connections allowed is being used. For example, a 1:3 value means that only one third of the allowed connections are being used (the number of connections allowed is set in Preferences -> Connection -> "Max Connections".
