Does this also run under Win? My wifes Laptop runs on Win, and it prob 
would make sense to monitor the two main computers in a comparable way. 
That's one of the reasons I choose bandwidthd to use.

Actually I do have mldonkey running, but again, I had it running the 
same way in Kington. Actually, I had the max upload speed twice as high 
in Kington. But anyway, I disabled the mlnet daemon as an init script, 
so after the next boot I'll now better in this regard. (Yes, I know, I 
could stop it now and see what happens... ;-) )

one more thing to try.
