npower1 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Some comments on the new statistics pane. (1) I like the new 'Share Ratio' - it should encourage down loaders to keep giving back to the community. (2) the old statistics pane showed a number that appeared to be the average download speed so far, and this remained after the download had finished. I enjoyed watching this number fluctuate. (Please, no comments on how I should be getting my enjoyment elsewhere!) Sadly this number has disappeared. (3) 'Elapsed Time' - I have yet to stop and restart a download with 1.15 (sometimes happened when I turned my PC off over night). In pre 1.15 versions the equivalent was the active download time. Does this field give the same? (4) The 'Download' gradually getting bluer field - I'm not sure what I gain by having this visual aid to the parts that I have downloaded. I'm only really interested in the overall percentage. How does it help me? (5) The 'Availability' field - I have no idea what this means and the strange percentage numbers (e.g. 1427%) don't help in explaining its meaning. (6) The new 'Download Speed' fields has me totally at a loss. Any comments and/or information on the above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
npower1 Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 An update on point 2. When I stop a task the download speed shows what I believe to be the average overall download speed. When a task has finished downloading but I leave uploading to continue the download speed shows a small number, which I assume is control information being exchanged. Not having thought to check this previously I don't know if this was the same prior to 1.15. What is the reasoning behind this design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greywizard Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I believe you meant the Summary tab not the Statistics one. You can find all the info you need in the Wiki pages, here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
