[Mldonkey-bugs] [bug #19520] The download 'rate' or speed for a given file as displayed by the html display is completely inaccurate

[Nick]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #19520 (project mldonkey):

Yes, setting the 'download_sample_size' to 100 makes a big improvment, many
more files are now shown downloading with much improved download rates,
although sometimes the individual rates still seem not to add up the total
rate, but most of the time they give a fair indication of what files are
downloading. There's still something not quite right with the algorithm that
computes the individual rates when compared to the likes of emule.

However having said that, your suggestion makes a big improvement compared to
the display as it was. Is there any reason this could not be set as 100 as the
default ?

I did have a quick look at the section of code that computes these rates
however I'm not familiar with the ocaml language, so ended up reading the
tutorials and haven't spend any time figuring out how the rate calculations
are done. In your opinion, do you think the way the rates are computed could
be improved ? 

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
