Package: netspeed Version: 0.13-1+b1 Severity: important netspeed reports larger speeds than normal. For instance, while using Firefox to download a file, or apt to upgrade the system; the application (Firefox or apt) would report for example 350 KB/sec, while netspeed would report 575 KB/sec.
I realise that there's a discrepancy between the data amount in application terms and the data in raw interface terms. However, I also checked with iptraf and while it also reports greater speeds than the applications, it is only a minor increase: 370 KB/sec when the application reports 350. The problem appears at any level of speed, not just large speeds. Examples: application: 5, iptraf: 6, netspeed: 8.5 application: 10, iptraf: 11, netspeed: 20 application: 20, iptraf: 23, netspeed: 35 application: 50, iptraf: 55, netspeed: 85 application: 100, iptraf: 113, netspeed: 170 These are just examples, because the speed reported by netspeed also seems to fluctuate a lot, but generally it stays around 70% more than what the application reports, while iptraf only adds about 10%. The same applies to upload speeds. Changing the update interval does not fix the problem or improve it. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22.1 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages netspeed depends on: ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libbonobo2-0 2.20.0-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.20.0-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.6.1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.10-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.4 generic font configuration library ii libgconf2-4 2.20.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.20.0-3 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.20.0-3 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libgtop2-7 2.20.0-1 gtop system monitoring library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpanel-applet2-0 2.20.0.1-3 library for GNOME Panel applets ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.2-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.30.dfsg-2 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra netspeed recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
