It would be very nice to be able to choose a linear scale instead of the logarithmic one. Logarithmic scales are very hard to interpret visually. In speedometer, the scale intervals are 1 KB/s, 32 KB/s, and 1 MB/s. My max upload speed is around 40 KB/s, and my max download speed is around 155 KB/s. That means that from 32 KB/s to 155 KB/s there is very little detail on the logarithmic scale in speedometer, which makes the graphs rather useless. An increase in download speed from 40 KB/s to 100 KB/s (2.5x, or jumping from about 40% to 65% of max) moves only three increments on the graph, or around 15% of the graph scale. The upload graph is worse: an increase from 20 KB/s to 40 KB/s (2x, or jumping from 50% to 100% of max) moves only one increment, or about 5% of the graph. (Increment meaning a row on the console.) - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages speedometer depends on: ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-urwid 0.9.7.1-1 curses-based UI/widget library for speedometer recommends no packages. - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF/ilo5+GdyTDsrJsRAgh1AKCBtSwe02H0A40gF3UoHStXr1VxvgCgue05 RjMnw+HrNTLdDDUzNOWcwdw= =6mqn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
