Solved - Help with network speed skin

Post by CyberTheWorm »

Hi all, so I created a skin for measuring the network speed and it seems to work except I'm not getting the correct speed.

Actual speed
Down : ~179Mbps
Up : ~16Mbps

I am not sure about "actual speed". But... 178.78 Mbps = 22.3 MB/S, and 16.23 Mbps = 2.02 MB/S. These values are inconsitent with skin values?

OK found out what I was doing wrong.

Changed

Code: Select all

AutoScale=1

to

Scale=131072
Now it reads Mbps, was the correct value. Dummy me forgot it was reading Bps not bps :???:
