Comment 10 for bug 15436

Nothing appears to have been changed upstream. The applet automatically scales, and doesn't tell you what scale it's using, and so ends up providing almost no information.

Download at a steady 10kB/s or a steady 10MB/s and you'll see the same - a flat graph saying that the network is 100% used. What good is that?

Changing the tooltip to display actual data (like current up and down speeds for example) rather than just a meaningless percentage would help, but to fix the bug properly the user should be allowed to specify the scale to use. It's a nonsense to tell me that my network is 100% in use when you have no idea what my network speed is.
