The new version of LimeWire will display statistics in the title bar at the top when you are not a leaf node (are not connected to an UltraPeer. This is because the messages needed for those statistics are not sent to leaf connections.
That said, I also just want to point out that we originally took out those readings in LimeWire 1.8 because they were really, really innaccurate. This was not through any fault of our own, but simply because it's very difficult to obtain accurate statistics for a fully distributed network like Gnutella. While it would be possible to get better statistics, its just not a priority, and the extra messages would take up more bandwidth, resulting, of course, in slower downloads.
Hope everyone has a happy holidays -- I'll be on vacation until the middle of January, so I won't be able to participate for awhile. |
