[idea] a new symbol to be used in templates...

@Val: Check your upload dossier. Merci!

@all: thanks to yannik.val I could test some issues in a real situation.

Downloads from my site are running fine, and as indicated by HFS, with the theoretical maximum speed of my upload capacity of 70kB/s : 512kbps.  

But when I upload files, the bigger the files are, the longer it takes before the actual sending begins and the upload speed, as indicated by my system, is only half of the theoretical rate: 45kB/s.
Additionallly, it appears as if the sending takes a lot of system recources: the progress window can't be refreshed and appears only after the upload of all selected files has been finished.    (Of course,  there were no other connections open.)
This happens too, when testing locally 127.0.01 or via LAN 10.0.x.x or 192.168.x.x on my machine. In this case I'm sending and receiving on the same machine and that would explain the high load)

When val's downloads were ongoing, I tested the progress window. My (local) connection did not display the ongoing downloading files from the other user, which is OK wrt. privacy. Can you confirm?

I don't understand sorry

the theoretical maximum speed of my upload capacity of 70kB/s : 512kbps.  

That might be a your theoretical maximum but not in the real world.  I have 640 kB/s up and the best I see is 65-70 kB/s during a upload.  Your 512 kB/s would be lower than that in the real world.

I have noticed the same behavior ever since I upgraded from WinXP Pro SP1 to SP2.  I don't know if it is a HFS issue or a XP issue but like you it does bug me.  I have better luck with Opera in viewing the progress window when an upload is in progress.  No luck with IE or Netscape - the progress window only shows "after" the file transfer is complete.  I wonder if it is a priority issue?

The figure(chiffre) 640 ko/s in the graph, correpond in fact the speed (premises), when I make out a will on my own server. In reality, I can send at most to 60-80 Kb that depends of the load.

I do not know if it is indeed  that you ask for?

i noticed opera reads the file before sending. bigger the file, longer the waiting.

when you work locally, the computer is loaded as much as it can, there is not limiter. it is normal.
the problem would be smaller if the load was on the CPU only. when the HD is busy, the computer always behaves bad.

i confirm

To make a symbol:  
average of telechargement by IP.  
For example:  There are 6 People (and not IP) who telecharge at a mean velocity of 10 KB.

as someone said, HFS divides speed equally between connections.
60kb / 6 users = 10kb

if someone doesn't take his 10kb, what remains is equally shared between other people.
like before, 60kb, 6 users, but a user only uses 5kb, remaining 55kb / 5 remaining users = 11kb (faster)

are you sure you need such symbol?
it looks rather useless to me
