I does not download anything today, but this downloading speed displays all the time
ok, it's just protocol overhead, but why it is not appends to total and/or session transfer statistic? if there is possibility does not appends it to statistic, why not disable it entirely (or do optionally)? it is wrong and terrible

You're right, it should be counted in the cumulative stats. Some users look at those stats to see how much of their ISP's bandwidth allotment has been used, so it makes sense to record the overhead there too.

If anything, the overhead should be stored separately, even if they are added together when displayed. With this change you lose the ability to know how much data you've actually transferred, and once this goes into the release version there's no going back, ever. This is information I would be quite interested in, considering this value is what ratios should be based off of.

Yes, that's a good point too, and outweighs Shutnik's complaint IMO. reverted in r7042.

yes, for count ratio this data should not be used, but it is real traffic what I download.
may be still store it separately (or not display this protocol overhead quite)?

- Summary changed from displays downloading speed with 0 downloading torrents to Don't display protocol overhead in the speed monitor
I'm not enthusiastic about this ticket, but it seems to be the consensus....

Fixed as of r7060
Transmission now show BitTorrent? protocol overhead. Some might still occurred if torrents were recently paused, or if they're scraping.
