Thanks Kyle, Dmitri, that is correct, I am referring to the tooltip and
the main window not matching.  1.6MB != 4.4MB regardless of whether
using 1024 or 1000 bytes per KB, etc.

Until recently I had only used the tooltip to track my network usage.
When I confirmed it with the transfer window I saw it was off.  When I
checked it against the network monitor window I saw it also did not
match.

Many other users may just use the tooltip, so it would be helpful if the
tooltip was accurate.

I'm new to posting bugs here so I have remarked confirmed, but please
update if I was not supposed to do that.

thanks,
Peter

Title:
  gnome system monitor shows network upload speed that is inaccurate

Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  when transfering a file from local to remote host via eth0, rcp shows
  a transfer speed of 4MB/s.  Checking /proc/net/dev confirms a transfer
  speed of about 5MB/s, and calculating the transfer rate from the ETA
  and filesize confirms a transfer rate of about 4 megabytes / second.
  However, when rolling the mouse over the network window of the gnome
  system monitor shows a speed of about 1/5-1/10 of that reported by
  /proc and rcp (or scp) of about 500 KB/s.

  gnome-system-monitor version 2.28.1-1ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 10.10

  thanks,
  Peter
