#312 closed Defect (invalid)

data transfer speed values are zero

Reported by: mikus Owned by: davea
Priority: Trivial Milestone: 5.10
Component: Client - Daemon Version:
Keywords: Cc:

Description

Looking within the BOINC directory of a system running a recent 5.10 client, various .xml files have <max_bytes_sec_up> and <max_bytes_sec_down> values of zero.

If these fields do not serve any function, why have them?

If they do have a function, why are their values always zero?

O.K.

What aroused my curiosity was an user who wanted to indicate that his dial-up connection had a noticeably slow transfer rate. I was wondering whether these fields could be used to distinguish between broadband connections and slow connections?
