Comment 4 for bug 1076880

Hi Robert
The axis labels seem appropriate to the speed value apparently seen by system monitor. It is th eapparent speed value seen by system monitor which is too large. To keep th einitial report simple, I did not mention the similar apparent inaccuracy in system monitor indication of upload speed also, in fact it was the upload speed being (incorrectly far too large that brought my attention to this - I am using VPN for the first time and running (Ubuntu, floss) torrents in Transmission. With VPN the upload speed is shown as say, 90 (ish) but I have set the global up speed to be limited to 45. It was my concern that I had either lost control of the upload speed, or thatsomehow VPN was throwing a very fast upload capability. My ISP doe not traffic shape at all, and also I could not can not see why a VPN should cause a large increase in what should be a controlled speed of upload. My expected max upload speed should be just over 100, say 120 (ISP says currently - Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1.072 / 7.407)

My conclusion fwiw is that Transmission seems to report correct (upload ) speeds (set to say 50) when VPN is used, but System Monitor seems to give incorrectly high indications, and also not steady values either.

If more screen shots or even if a live view somehow could help let me know please?
