  • Upload & Download shows a combination of the Download and Upload graphs.
  •  
  • Download shows a graph of the current global download speed.
    • The light green-colored line represents the global download rate limit. If no limit is set for the global download rate, this line will not be shown.
    • The solid green-colored line represents the current global download rate, counting only payload data (as opposed to including overhead).
    • The long-dashed green-colored line represents the global download rate for payload data downloaded from local peers.
    • The short-dashed green-colored line represents the global download rate, including download overhead. If gui.graph_overhead is disabled, this line will not be shown.
  •  
  • Upload shows a graph of the current global upload speed.
    • The light red-colored line represents the global upload rate limit. If no limit is set for the global upload rate, this line will not be shown.
    • The solid red-colored line represents the current global upload rate, counting only payload data (as opposed to including overhead).
    • The long-dashed red-colored line represents the global upload rate for payload data uploaded to local peers.
    • The short-dashed red-colored line represents the global upload rate, including upload overhead. If gui.graph_overhead is disabled, this line will not be shown.
    • The solid yellow-colored line represents the current upload speed going toward non-BitTorrent receivers, like media players streaming media from µTorrent, or browsers requesting data from µTorrent's Web UI backend.
  •  
  • Disk Statistics shows several graphs pertaining to disk and cache access. In each of these graphs, the lighter lines represent the graphs for writes or reads (depending on which graph you're looking at) to and from the cache. Their more solid counterparts represent the writes and reads to and from the disk. Textual statistics pertaining to disk and cache access collected for the current session are shown to the left of the graphs. The "Reset" button below resets the collected statistics.
  •  
  • Transfer Cap shows the cumulative amount of data transferred over the period of time specified in the Transfer Cap settings.
    • The solid green-colored line represents the cumulative amount of data downloaded.
    • The solid red-colored line represents the cumulative amount of data uploaded.
    • The solid yellow-colored line represents the total cumulative amount of data transferred (downloaded and uploaded).
    • The light red-colored line represents the transfer cap limit.
  •  
  • Transfer History shows the amount of data transferred for each day in the last 31 days.
    • The solid green-colored line represents the amount of data downloaded.
    • The solid red-colored line represents the amount of data uploaded.
    • The solid yellow-colored line represents the total amount of data transferred (downloaded and uploaded).
  •  
  • Streaming shows several graphs related to streaming mechanism for media files in torrents you are now streaming
  •  
  • Network Overhead shows you several graphs related to all the none-data related traffic intoduced by the BitTorrent transfer protocol.
  • uTP Delay shows you several graphs for the different timing delay only relevant to the uTP (UDP) type connections.
  • Disk Timing shows information about various types of disk activity for a specific torrent.
•  
• The Resolution dropdown menu allows you to select the interval for the time unit used for the X-axis of each graph. The Y-axis values are average over this time resolution.
