I guess my first feeling when I see that histogram is ... that's not something I've ever wanted. Pause button is kinda cool though.

- mikeknoop 15y agoI think the histogram solves the usability issue where a network transfer is hung up but the "transfer speed" linearly, slowly drops off (because it is calculated as a total average). The only way to verify the transfer previously is to check if the total transfer percent/value changes absolutely.
- glhaynes 15y agoWouldn't a rolling average of the last 15 seconds solve that problem?
- Fizzer 15y agoIt wouldn't solve it, it would just reduce it. It would still take 15 seconds to be able to identify that your connection dropped if you judged based off of that figure alone.
- glhaynes 15y agoIf your throughput suddenly dropped to 0 and you were watching a 15-second rolling average of that throughput speed, you'd within a very few (far less than 15) seconds know that your transfer speed had cratered.
- wlievens 15y agoI don't think that's a histogram. It's a chart plotting the throughput at time intervals.
- glhaynes 15y agoYou're correct, thank you.
