#4 "Ttl:" total traffic counter wraps at 32 gigs
Version: 0.6.0-2 through Debian unstable.
When the total traffic counter (label is "Ttl:")
reaches 32 Gigs it wraps back to zero.
It is strange because :
status.h:72: long long m_total;
long long is good from -9,223,372,036,854,775,807 up to
9,223,372,036,854,775,807 so I counting to
35,184,372,000,000 (1024^4⋅32) should be well within
its reach. Making it and unsigned long long will make
it good from zero up to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 -
at least it won't hurt.
But the more fundamental problem is probably elsewhere.
I'm completely clueless about C and quite clueless
about programming in general, so my suggestion may or
may not add any value...
Status::print looks simple and sane to my naďve eyes,
so the problem may lie in the way the basic counter is
handled and the kernel limitations are worked around.
Anyway, thanks for nload : I use it everyday and it is
a very handy tool to get a quick idea of the shape of
traffic.

Hmm, both the Debian version (0.6.0-2) and my version from
the CVS repository do not have the limitation described
(tested by flooding localhost...).
Could you please tell me more about your OS (linux, bsd, ...),
its kernel version and how much traffic you have by average?

The OS is Linux 2.4.26, I get about 1 GB (gigabytes)
outbound a day. The counter wrap I have reported occurs at
32 Gb (gigabits).
