Bandwidth

The bandwith of the selected network adapter is monitored as long as the tool Network Interface is selected. If you switch to another tool, the monitoring is paused and will be reset once you switch back again.

You can see the current download and upload speed in Bit/s (B/s). Depending on the bandwith you are using its automatically adjusting to KBit/s (KB/s), MBit/s (MB/s) or GBit/s (GB/s). It also displays since when the bandwidth is measured and how much has been downloaded and uploaded since then.
