Incorrect down/up speeds in Netspeed

actually I don't see how you know the values are incorrect. The applet just shows 2 values, the first one (usually on top) being the download speed.
could you please give more details (gauge/graphic ? maybe a sceenshot).
thanks !

I compared the values with those of Conky, System Monitor and GKrellm. All of these network monitors showed the same speeds, while Cairo-Dock's Netspeed (on the dock) showed irrelevant values. Since I made those changes, Netspeed shows what the other network monitors do. As I was satisfied with the effect, I didn't think about the cause ;) Now the lower value is the correct download speed, while the upper one is the correct upload speed.

ok thanks for the detail :-)
do you use a graphic or a gauge ? if so, which gauge theme ?

The graph mode doesn't show both values on the icon for me. I use Ubuntu Light Theme with values on the icon.

For me the main problem is that the up speed is always 0.
I can also confirm that the up and down speeds are switched.
I've just made a download and an upload to a fast server nearby me.
The value for the download speed on the label agrees with azureus, the upload speed is always zero.
On the graph on the other hand the labels are probably reversed because the top graph shows a correct graph for the download however it is marked "UP". The lower graph is marked as "DOWN" and stays 0.

If I switch to the gauge view the same thing happens.

Patch commited that should fix the netspeed bugs.
Please give it a try and tell me if you still have problems.

thanks SQP :-)
actually your patch fixes half of the bug (sometimes there is a space after
the ':', sometimes not)
so I've improved the fix and Matttbe should be about to push it into the 2.4
release.

Hello,

This new patch has been committed and pushed (rev 2112).
@Fabounet: Thank you again ;)

PS: but the 2.4 release is for tonight or tomorrow... it depends if my latest modifications are ok and if I have time to prepare a little announce and other things ;)
@ Fabounet and SQP: don't hesitate to check my latest modifications if you have a few time and report it on our forum (or by mail or something else!)
