Hello, It seems that the byte counters (derived from netstat -nbi) reset at around 4 GB. Is there no way around this? It would be nice to be able to see an accurate display of totals. It just seems pointless to even have this, as 4 GB is just not that much anymore. I know this is a 32bit limitation of the variable, but that's just bad coding in my opinion (no offence intended), I mean there must be some way around this. Thank You.
