[HLUG] bandwidth logging

[Steve Bushell]

Oh,

And Iplayer in particular is adaptive, if it senses a better connection, it increases the rate to give a less fuzzy (higher bandwidth) connection.....

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... ;-) )

Thanks Meijin,

one more thing to try.
