 () Counted exactly twice I would pressume ?
 
 As I stated later in my PR, I can't tell exactly when I transfer data
 via ftp. A `ping -c 1' is definitely counted twice.
 
 Does it have something to do with IP accounting collecting it's data
 depending on the network device (here the loopback device)?
 
 I'm not deep enough in the firewall's internals...
 
 Thanks in advance for your help!
